Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MobMaps at 4.3 against Spots's 3.0. MobMaps also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18). Spots's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (85% vs 50%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support 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. MobMaps sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Spots asks for nothing beyond the download.
MobMaps holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Spots's written reviews are positive against 50% of MobMaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spots ships an update fortnightly, MobMaps weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
