# Map Plus vs GTField GPS & Data collection

The clearest difference is ads: GTField GPS & Data collection at none against Map Plus's shown. GTField GPS & Data collection also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Map Plus's advantage is ratings volume (637 vs 4) and review sentiment (83% vs 60%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and GTField GPS & Data collection sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GTField GPS & Data collection holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Plus has 637 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Map Plus's written reviews are positive against 60% of GTField GPS & Data collection's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
