# 新知卫星地图 vs 水经微图

The clearest difference is rating: 水经微图 at 5.0 against 新知卫星地图's 4.5. 水经微图 also leads on ads (none vs shown). 新知卫星地图's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 新知卫星地图 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and 水经微图 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

水经微图 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 新知卫星地图 has 73 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

新知卫星地图 ships an update every 2 weeks, 水经微图 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
