# Permit Path vs Route Pilot Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Permit Path at 4.5 against Route Pilot Pro's 2.3. Permit Path also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (44 vs 4). Route Pilot Pro's advantage is chart position (#194 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Permit Path sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Route Pilot Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Permit Path holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Permit Path has 44 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
