# Outmap vs ArkenMap

The clearest difference is rating: ArkenMap at 5.0 against Outmap's 4.4. Outmap's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (47 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Outmap sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and ArkenMap sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ArkenMap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outmap has 47 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Outmap's written reviews are positive against 50% of ArkenMap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Outmap ships an update every 8 days, ArkenMap weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
