# ArcGIS Field Maps vs Recall

The clearest difference is rating: Recall at 5.0 against ArcGIS Field Maps's 2.2. Recall also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.5). ArcGIS Field Maps's advantage is ratings volume (45 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.

Recall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcGIS Field Maps has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
