Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: We Maps 04 | 3D + 2D World Map at none against Google Maps's shown. We Maps 04 | 3D + 2D World Map also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Google Maps's advantage is ratings volume (7.4M vs 1.6K) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Google Maps sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and We Maps 04 | 3D + 2D World Map sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Google Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Maps has 7.4M ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Google Maps's written reviews are positive against 51% of We Maps 04 | 3D + 2D World Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Google Maps ships an update every 6 days, We Maps 04 | 3D + 2D World Map every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
