# Coordinates vs iTAK

The clearest difference is rating: Coordinates at 4.6 against iTAK's 3.5. Coordinates also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 41%) and ratings volume (6.7K vs 156). iTAK's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coordinates sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. iTAK asks for nothing beyond the download.

Coordinates holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coordinates has 6.7K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two.
