# Mapper vs CartoCraft

The clearest difference is rating: CartoCraft at 5.0 against Mapper's 4.6. Mapper's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mapper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and CartoCraft sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CartoCraft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mapper has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
