# CoMaps vs Bikepacking

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CoMaps at none against Bikepacking's 3. CoMaps also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 8) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Bikepacking's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bikepacking sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. CoMaps asks for nothing beyond the download.

CoMaps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoMaps has 142 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of CoMaps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bikepacking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CoMaps ships an update fortnightly, Bikepacking every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
