Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MLS at 4.9 against Map Search's 2.5. MLS also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). Map Search's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MLS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLS has 12K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Map Search's written reviews are positive against 58% of MLS's.
Map Search ships an update every 25 months, MLS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
