# GPS Map Camera vs MapCam

The clearest difference is rating: MapCam at 4.4 against GPS Map Camera's 3.0. MapCam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Map Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and MapCam sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MapCam holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapCam has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GPS Map Camera ships an update every 2 weeks, MapCam every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on August 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
