Verdict
The clearest difference is price: WayLog at Free against Guru Maps Pro's $89.99. WayLog also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Guru Maps Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence 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
WayLog is free to download; Guru Maps Pro costs $89.99 up front. WayLog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Guru Maps Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
WayLog holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guru Maps Pro has 995 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Guru Maps Pro's written reviews are positive against 63% of WayLog's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Guru Maps Pro ships an update every 10 days, WayLog every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
