# Measure Map vs Map Marker

The clearest difference is ads: Map Marker at none against Measure Map's shown. Map Marker also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 79%). Measure Map's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 344). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Measure Map sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Map Marker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Measure Map against 4.8 for Map Marker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure Map has 5.3K ratings behind it against 344, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Measure Map's written reviews are positive against 88% of Map Marker's.

Measure Map ships an update every 2 weeks, Map Marker every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
