# Sygic vs Neshan Map

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Neshan Map at none against Sygic's 24. Neshan Map also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (69% vs 41%). Sygic's advantage is ratings volume (57K vs 2.7K) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sygic sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $12.49 per 3 months. Neshan Map asks for nothing beyond the download.

Sygic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sygic has 57K ratings behind it against 2.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Sygic's written reviews are positive against 69% of Neshan Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sygic ships an update weekly, Neshan Map every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
