Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Petro at 4.3 against YoGPS's 3.0. Petro also leads on ratings volume (259 vs 1). YoGPS's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 12%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Petro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petro has 259 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Petro's written reviews are positive against 50% of YoGPS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Petro ships an update every 11 days, YoGPS every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
