# GoGoEarth vs Earth Maps

The clearest difference is ads: Earth Maps at none against GoGoEarth's shown. Earth Maps also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 187). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoGoEarth sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Earth Maps sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Earth Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth Maps has 1.2K ratings behind it against 187, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 79% positive.

GoGoEarth ships an update every 5 weeks, Earth Maps every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
