# iLocation vs PicPos

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iLocation at none against PicPos's 1. iLocation also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 42). PicPos's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 36%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicPos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iLocation asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for iLocation against 4.3 for PicPos. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iLocation has 3.9K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 36% of iLocation's written reviews are positive against 52% of PicPos's.

iLocation ships an update monthly, PicPos every 14 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
