Verdict
The clearest difference is price: X at Free against map's $2.99. X also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 13) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
X is free to download; map costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
X holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 3.5K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of map's written reviews are positive against 91% of X's.
map ships an update every 5 months, X monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
