# ResX vs Budget Map

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Budget Map at none against ResX's 8. Budget Map also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ResX's advantage is ratings volume (609 vs 1) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResX sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Budget Map asks for nothing beyond the download.

Budget Map holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ResX has 609 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ResX ships an update every 2 weeks, Budget Map weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
