Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Google Maps at 7.4M against 百度地图's 44K. Google Maps also leads on chart position (#1 vs #77) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). 百度地图's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 百度地图 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Google Maps sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 百度地图 against 4.7 for Google Maps. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Maps has 7.4M ratings behind it against 44K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 41% of 百度地图's written reviews are positive against 43% of Google Maps's.
百度地图 ships an update fortnightly, Google Maps every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
