Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BudgetGPS at 100% against Swoop Towing's 18%. BudgetGPS also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Swoop Towing's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 2.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Swoop Towing holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swoop Towing has 152 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BudgetGPS's written reviews are positive against 18% of Swoop Towing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BudgetGPS ships an update every 3 months, Swoop Towing fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
