# Coordinates vs UTM Maps

The clearest difference is review sentiment: UTM Maps at 100% against Coordinates's 63%. UTM Maps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). Coordinates's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, 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 UTM Maps sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UTM Maps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coordinates has 6.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Coordinates's written reviews are positive against 100% of UTM Maps's.

Coordinates ships an update monthly, UTM Maps every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
