Read the mountain before you walk it. ShedGuide turns private shed history, licensed field evidence, and 10-meter terrain data into focused mule deer and elk search areas across the Mountain West. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your shed locations and saved areas are visible only to you. • Shared models learn from accepted contributions without showing another hunter's points or hunting areas. • Searches, notes, selected areas, and map views never train the shared model. • ShedGuide does not collect photos or record background routes. BUILT FOR SHED HUNTING • Switch cleanly between mule deer and elk terrain. • See your private shed markers above the prediction surface. • Import reviewed shed waypoints from GPX, KML, KMZ, and CSV files on your phone. • Read always-on, labeled elevation contours across the map. • Create fixed prediction areas sized for your membership. • View each area's highest-priority terrain instead of an overwhelming statewide heatmap. SAME PREDICTION, DIFFERENT TOOLS Standard and Pro use the same shared prediction and 10-meter score. Pro adds larger prediction areas, greater area capacity, selected terrain-driver layers, and advanced map controls—not a more accurate model. CONTRIBUTE WITHOUT GIVING AWAY YOUR SPOTS Real members agree to license accepted mule deer and elk shed coordinates to a restricted training corpus. The shared model may use terrain characteristics and a protected, low-weight spatial pattern. No other member can retrieve your coordinates, saved areas, searches, or map history. Annual subscriptions are available through the App Store. Selected states lock for the subscription term, with one support correction allowed within seven days. Restore Purchases, subscription management, account export, and account deletion are available in the Account tab. Terrain Match Percentile and Shed Terrain Priority are planning tools—not a calibrated probability, navigation, access advice, or a guarantee that a shed exists. Always verify land access, regulations, closures, weather, and field safety independently. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ShedGuide at weekly against Predator Pro's every 6 months. Predator Pro's advantage is ratings volume (116 vs 2) and rating (3.3 vs 3.0). 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. Predator Pro sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and ShedGuide sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Predator Pro holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Predator Pro has 116 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Predator Pro ships an update every 6 months, ShedGuide weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
