DeepStateMap.Live is an interactive online map of the hostilities in Ukraine that allows you to follow the course of military operations in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the location of units and their movements. The application supports the possibility of caching downloaded data. The map has symbols: territory of Ukraine liberated from occupation in the last two weeks; liberated territory; territory that needs to be clarified; territory occupied by Russian troops; territory of the occupied Crimea and ORDLO; territory of Transnistria; unit; headquarters; airfields; fleet; directions of attacks. The territory is divided into zones, which are colored accordingly, and the locations of units and airfields are marked. The site also has a news feed and the ability to measure distances between points on the map. The site allows to enable the display of fire points based on data from the NASA Firms system and compare them with the front line. A special mode makes it possible to measure the range of various artillery systems: HIMARS, M777, CAESAR, etc. along the entire front line.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: DeepStateMap at Free against StarCat's $1.99. DeepStateMap also leads on rating (4.1 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). StarCat's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
