# ArcGIS Earth vs PrintPatch

The clearest difference is rating: PrintPatch at 5.0 against ArcGIS Earth's 3.5. PrintPatch also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). ArcGIS Earth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PrintPatch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. ArcGIS Earth asks for nothing beyond the download.

PrintPatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcGIS Earth has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
