The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Patrol+ at none against PatrolGuidePro's 4. Patrol+ also leads on ratings volume (43 vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). PatrolGuidePro's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PatrolGuidePro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Patrol+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Patrol+ against 5.0 for PatrolGuidePro.

Patrol+ ships an update every 2 months, PatrolGuidePro every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
