# Map Plus vs Logarithmic Scale

The clearest difference is rating: Logarithmic Scale at 5.0 against Map Plus's 4.6. Logarithmic Scale also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). Map Plus's advantage is ratings volume (638 vs 4) and device support. On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Map Plus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Logarithmic Scale sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Map Plus has 638 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
