# iLocation vs GPS Emulator Location

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iLocation at none against GPS Emulator Location's 3. iLocation also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 17%) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 341). GPS Emulator Location's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Emulator Location sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. iLocation asks for nothing beyond the download.

GPS Emulator Location holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iLocation has 3.9K ratings behind it against 341, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of iLocation's written reviews are positive against 17% of GPS Emulator Location's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iLocation ships an update monthly, GPS Emulator Location fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
