Is it true that all applications use location services in the same way?

Question

satellite navigation

Decided to go in for sports. Google Fit is enough for me, but I decided to look at other applications.
The main reason is to see if someone will have less power consumption during the same runs, because you don’t really want to pay a percentage of the charge for every minute of training with GPS tracking.
But after all, any application accesses Google's location services and the cost of GPS depends only on Google, right?
