# Worldly vs Map Diary

The clearest difference is rating: Map Diary at 5.0 against Worldly's 4.3. Map Diary also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). Worldly's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Worldly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Map Diary sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Map Diary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Worldly has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Worldly's written reviews are positive against 100% of Map Diary's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
