Peak's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Peak holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPS Elevation ships an update monthly, Peak every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
