Both are free to download. Mapper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and DS Card sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mapper holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Mapper's written reviews are positive against 91% of DS Card's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mapper ships an update fortnightly, DS Card weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
