# 指南针 vs Compass360X

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Compass360X at 100% against 指南针's 32%. Compass360X also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). 指南针's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 指南针 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $15.49 per year and Compass360X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Compass360X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 指南针 has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
