# Earth vs 精图地球

The clearest difference is rating: Earth at 4.5 against 精图地球's 3.8. Earth also leads on ratings volume (321 vs 4). 精图地球's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Earth sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 精图地球 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth has 321 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Earth's written reviews are positive against 81% of 精图地球's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Earth ships an update every 3 weeks, 精图地球 fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
