# World Map vs Globe

The clearest difference is rating: Globe at 5.0 against World Map's 4.1. Globe also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). World Map's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Globe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Globe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Map has 53 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

World Map ships an update every 5 weeks, Globe every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
