Honestly: where onX Hunt is stronger
- For hunting in the US, onX Hunt clearly has the more detailed data: private property boundaries with landowner names (147 million parcels) and nationwide public land data — HuntKit does not offer this.
- onX has been on the market since 2009 and has a much larger US community and more US-specific content (1,000+ state layers, lidar, leaf-off).
- Entry is cheaper: onX Premium costs $34.99 per year (one state) versus €95.88 for HuntKit Hunter; Elite ($99.99) is also below HuntKit's Owner yearly price (€179.88).
- onX supports CarPlay and Android Auto — HuntKit does not.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does onX Hunt cost compared to HuntKit?
- onX Hunt: Premium $34.99 per year for one US state, $49.99 for two states, Elite $99.99 per year for all 50 states + Canada (as of 2026-08-04, onxmaps.com). HuntKit: free tier forever, Hunter €95.88 per year, Owner €179.88 per year (VAT incl.). onX is cheaper to start with, but has no permanent free tier and only covers the US and Canada.
- Does onX Hunt work in Germany or Europe?
- onX Hunt is built for the US and Canada — parcel data, public land boundaries and the 1,000+ state layers only exist there; there is no European hunting content (territories, seasons). HuntKit covers Europe and North America, with hunting seasons for 77 countries in 13 languages.
- Does HuntKit have property lines like onX?
- No. Private US parcel data with landowner names is an onX strength that HuntKit does not offer. HuntKit instead builds on the European territory system: your own territory boundaries, installations, harvest plan and group management.
- Which of the two apps is more GDPR-friendly?
- HuntKit hosts in the EU (Frankfurt), loads no external CDNs, uses no third-party analytics and encrypts the document vault zero-knowledge. onX is a US company processing data in the United States — fine for US hunters, a consideration for EU users.
