# GPS Pro vs Codan XTEND

The clearest difference is rating: Codan XTEND at 4.5 against GPS Pro's 2.3. Codan XTEND also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). GPS Pro's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 42 months). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Pro sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Codan XTEND asks for nothing beyond the download.

Codan XTEND holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of GPS Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Codan XTEND's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPS Pro ships an update every 5 weeks, Codan XTEND every 42 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
