# SmartRVRoute vs Wildsam Magazine

The clearest difference is rating: Wildsam Magazine at 4.1 against SmartRVRoute's 2.4. Wildsam Magazine also leads on ratings volume (99 vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). SmartRVRoute's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SmartRVRoute sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Wildsam Magazine sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wildsam Magazine holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wildsam Magazine has 99 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of SmartRVRoute's written reviews are positive against 10% of Wildsam Magazine's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SmartRVRoute ships an update every 2 months, Wildsam Magazine every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
