# Flymaps vs Globe Planet 3D

Globe Planet 3D's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flymaps sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Globe Planet 3D sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
