Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PAX Nav at none against Helper for Caverna's 1. PAX Nav also leads on rating (3.2 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (86 vs 6). Helper for Caverna's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 28%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helper for Caverna sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PAX Nav asks for nothing beyond the download.
PAX Nav holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAX Nav has 86 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Helper for Caverna's written reviews are positive against 28% of PAX Nav's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Helper for Caverna ships an update weekly, PAX Nav every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
