# Measure Map vs Quick Measure

The clearest difference is rating: Measure Map at 4.7 against Quick Measure's 4.1. Measure Map also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 17). Quick Measure's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16). On price, ads, 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 Quick Measure sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Measure Map holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Measure Map has 5.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.
