# Comet vs ForceMaps

The clearest difference is price: Comet at Free against ForceMaps's $4.99. Comet also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7.8K vs 8). ForceMaps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Comet is free to download; ForceMaps costs $4.99 up front. Comet sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $20.00 per month. ForceMaps asks for nothing beyond the download.

Comet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comet has 7.8K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Comet's written reviews are positive against 75% of ForceMaps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Comet ships an update weekly, ForceMaps monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
