# Compass Maps vs Compass Pro+

The clearest difference is update cadence: Compass Pro+ at every 5 days against Compass Maps's every 4 weeks. Compass Pro+ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Compass Maps's advantage is ratings volume (656 vs 14) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Compass Maps sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and Compass Pro+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Compass Pro+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Compass Maps has 656 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.
