# Crime Maps vs Crime Radar

Crime Maps and Crime Radar both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Crime Maps's written reviews are positive against 20% of Crime Radar's. Crime Radar's advantage is chart position (#22 vs unranked) and ratings volume (143 vs 21). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crime Maps sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.00 per month and Crime Radar sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Crime Maps holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crime Radar has 143 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Crime Maps's written reviews are positive against 20% of Crime Radar's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
