# SitePlan vs SW Maps

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SitePlan at 86% against SW Maps's 30%. SitePlan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). SW Maps's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SW Maps holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SW Maps has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of SitePlan's written reviews are positive against 30% of SW Maps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SitePlan ships an update fortnightly, SW Maps every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and August 8, 2026 respectively.
