# GeoCaches vs Stonehiding

GeoCaches and Stonehiding both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Stonehiding's written reviews are positive against 37% of GeoCaches's. Stonehiding also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GeoCaches's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1K vs 17). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GeoCaches sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Stonehiding sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for GeoCaches against 4.4 for Stonehiding. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GeoCaches has 1K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of GeoCaches's written reviews are positive against 83% of Stonehiding's.

GeoCaches ships an update every 2 months, Stonehiding fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
