# The Elder Scrolls Map vs Paldea Companion

The clearest difference is ads: The Elder Scrolls Map at none against Paldea Companion's shown. The Elder Scrolls Map also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 110). Paldea Companion's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 65%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Elder Scrolls Map sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Paldea Companion sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for The Elder Scrolls Map against 4.8 for Paldea Companion. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Elder Scrolls Map has 1.1K ratings behind it against 110, so its average is the more settled of the two.
