# Earth vs 云上卫星地图

The clearest difference is rating: 云上卫星地图 at 5.0 against Earth's 4.5. 云上卫星地图 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Earth's advantage is ratings volume (321 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Earth sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and 云上卫星地图 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

云上卫星地图 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth has 321 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Earth ships an update fortnightly, 云上卫星地图 every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
