# 百度地图 vs Cloud Online

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 百度地图 at 41% against Cloud Online's 6%. 百度地图 also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (44K vs 2). Cloud Online's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 百度地图 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Cloud Online asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cloud Online holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 百度地图 has 44K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of 百度地图's written reviews are positive against 6% of Cloud Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

百度地图 ships an update fortnightly, Cloud Online every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
