Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PolyMap at 5.0 against MustangMaps's 4.0. PolyMap also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). MustangMaps's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
PolyMap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PolyMap has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of PolyMap's written reviews are positive against 100% of MustangMaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
