ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guru Maps Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guru Maps Pro has 995 ratings behind it against 17, 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 89% of TrailIntel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Guru Maps Pro ships an update every 10 days, TrailIntel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
