# Coordinates vs Waypoint Compass

The clearest difference is ads: Waypoint Compass at none against Coordinates's shown. Waypoint Compass also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Coordinates's advantage is ratings volume (6.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coordinates sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Waypoint Compass sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Waypoint Compass holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coordinates has 6.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
