# FrightMaps vs Coaster Countdown

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coaster Countdown at none against FrightMaps's 12. Coaster Countdown also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). FrightMaps's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FrightMaps sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Coaster Countdown asks for nothing beyond the download.

FrightMaps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FrightMaps has 3.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of FrightMaps's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coaster Countdown's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FrightMaps ships an update every 6 days, Coaster Countdown every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
