Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BlueParrott at 4.5 against Radius Map's 3.6. BlueParrott also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BlueParrott holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlueParrott has 7.6K ratings behind it against 469, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of BlueParrott's written reviews are positive against 23% of Radius Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BlueParrott ships an update every 6 weeks, Radius Map every 14 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
