# Magnetscape vs µMagnetometer

The clearest difference is rating: µMagnetometer at 4.4 against Magnetscape's 3.5. µMagnetometer also leads on price ($1.99 vs $6.99) and ratings volume (67 vs 2). Magnetscape's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 23%). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Magnetscape costs $6.99 and µMagnetometer $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

µMagnetometer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: µMagnetometer has 67 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Magnetscape's written reviews are positive against 23% of µMagnetometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Magnetscape ships an update every 11 months, µMagnetometer every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
