# Spells List 5e vs Tears Map

The clearest difference is monetization model: Tears Map at free with in-app purchases against Spells List 5e's subscription. Tears Map also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Spells List 5e's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spells List 5e sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Tears Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spells List 5e holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spells List 5e has 3.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Spells List 5e's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tears 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 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
