# GPS Fields Area vs NetPulse

The clearest difference is rating: NetPulse at 4.4 against GPS Fields Area's 1.0. NetPulse also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). GPS Fields Area's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Fields Area sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and NetPulse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NetPulse holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetPulse has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GPS Fields Area ships an update every 6 weeks, NetPulse every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
