Both are free to download. GPS Fields Area Measure Map sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Free Map Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.
GPS Fields Area Measure Map holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Fields Area Measure Map has 13K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Free Map Tools's written reviews are positive against 56% of GPS Fields Area Measure Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
