Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CellMapper at 4.0 against Cell Tower Locator's 3.1. CellMapper also leads on ratings volume (682 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). Cell Tower Locator's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 6%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. CellMapper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Cell Tower Locator sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CellMapper holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CellMapper has 682 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of CellMapper's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cell Tower Locator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CellMapper ships an update every 3 weeks, Cell Tower Locator weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
