# Paldea Companion vs Frontiers Map

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Paldea Companion at 92% against Frontiers Map's 20%. Paldea Companion also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (110 vs 12). Frontiers Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Paldea Companion sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Frontiers Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paldea Companion holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paldea Companion has 110 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Paldea Companion's written reviews are positive against 20% of Frontiers Map's.

Paldea Companion ships an update fortnightly, Frontiers Map every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
