" Your SherpaShare subscription can be reimbursed or tax-deducted as a business expense” If you choose to subscribe, you will be charged a price according to the selected plan. The price will be shown in the app before you complete the payment. Monthly subscriptions renew each month, and annual subscriptions renew each year unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Your iTunes account will automatically be charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period and you will be charged for one month at a time. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings. BATTERY CONSUMPTION: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. SherpaShare Tracker has been designed to limit iOS GPS usage, so it uses a nominal amount of battery power.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: SherpaShare at none against Gridwise's shown. SherpaShare also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). Gridwise's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (75% vs 46%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
