# Map Plus vs Map Guided Adventures

The clearest difference is ads: Map Guided Adventures at none against Map Plus's shown. Map Guided Adventures also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Map Plus's advantage is ratings volume (633 vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Map Guided Adventures sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Map Guided Adventures holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Plus has 633 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
