# Cartographer vs PosterMap

The clearest difference is ads: Cartographer at none against PosterMap's shown. PosterMap's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cartographer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PosterMap sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
