Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Get Lost at 100% against GeoCaches's 37%. GeoCaches's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GeoCaches sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Get Lost sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
GeoCaches holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GeoCaches has 1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of GeoCaches's written reviews are positive against 100% of Get Lost's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GeoCaches ships an update every 2 months, Get Lost every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
