# Pacenote Maps vs Exit51

The clearest difference is rating: Exit51 at 4.6 against Pacenote Maps's 4.0. Exit51 also leads on ratings volume (273 vs 6) and chart position (#126 vs unranked). Pacenote Maps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (64% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exit51 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Pacenote Maps asks for nothing beyond the download.

Exit51 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exit51 has 273 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Pacenote Maps's written reviews are positive against 46% of Exit51's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pacenote Maps ships an update weekly, Exit51 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
