Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Streets at 4.7 against We Maps's 4.0. We Maps's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.4). On price, ratings volume, update cadence 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. We Maps sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Streets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Streets holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 55 and 151 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of We Maps's written reviews are positive against 56% of Streets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
