# myLocation vs Direkto

The clearest difference is rating: Direkto at 5.0 against myLocation's 4.6. myLocation's advantage is ratings volume (327 vs 2) and review sentiment (69% vs 50%). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

myLocation costs $0.99 and Direkto $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Direkto holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myLocation has 327 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of myLocation's written reviews are positive against 50% of Direkto's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

myLocation ships an update every 2 months, Direkto every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
