Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AED map at 4.5 against AED Registry's 2.0. AED map also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). AED Registry's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 15%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AED map holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of AED Registry's written reviews are positive against 15% of AED map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AED Registry ships an update every 5 months, AED map every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
