Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Road Trip Planner™ at 4.2 against MapItOut's 2.5. Road Trip Planner™ also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 2) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). MapItOut's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases 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
MapItOut costs $5.99 and Road Trip Planner™ $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Road Trip Planner™ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Road Trip Planner™ has 2.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of MapItOut's written reviews are positive against 50% of Road Trip Planner™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MapItOut ships an update every 3 weeks, Road Trip Planner™ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
