# Access Point Maps vs Journey

The clearest difference is rating: Journey at 5.0 against Access Point Maps's 4.3. Journey also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Access Point Maps's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Access Point Maps sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Journey sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Journey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Access Point Maps has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Access Point Maps ships an update fortnightly, Journey every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
