# Customer Database vs ForageMap

The clearest difference is rating: Customer Database at 4.6 against ForageMap's 3.0. Customer Database also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (47 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Customer Database sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and ForageMap sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Customer Database holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Customer Database has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Customer Database ships an update every 3 weeks, ForageMap monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
