# GPS Elevation vs Peak

The clearest difference is ads: GPS Elevation at none against Peak's shown. GPS Elevation also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). 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.

Both are free to download. GPS Elevation sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Peak sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GPS Elevation's written reviews are positive against 80% of Peak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

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