Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Formulap at 5.0 against GPGuide's 4.3. Formulap also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). GPGuide's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 50%) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. GPGuide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Formulap sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Formulap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPGuide has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of GPGuide's written reviews are positive against 50% of Formulap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPGuide ships an update every 2 weeks, Formulap weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
