# Satellite Pointer vs Antenna Pointer

The clearest difference is rating: Satellite Pointer at 4.5 against Antenna Pointer's 2.8. Satellite Pointer also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 4) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Antenna Pointer's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Satellite Pointer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Antenna Pointer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Satellite Pointer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Satellite Pointer has 3.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Satellite Pointer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Antenna Pointer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Satellite Pointer ships an update monthly, Antenna Pointer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
