# Raiders Map vs ARC Intel

The clearest difference is rating: ARC Intel at 5.0 against Raiders Map's 3.5. Raiders Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 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. Raiders Map sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ARC Intel sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARC Intel holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raiders Map has 227 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Raiders Map ships an update every 2 days, ARC Intel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 9, 2026 respectively.
