The clearest difference is price: Map Area Calculator at Free against MapPath Pro's $1.99. Map Area Calculator also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 4) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). MapPath Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Map Area Calculator is free to download; MapPath Pro costs $1.99 up front. Map Area Calculator sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. MapPath Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

Map Area Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3.
