# Y vs Threadmap

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Y at 15.0 against Threadmap's 18.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Y sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Threadmap sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Y ships an update every 9 days, Threadmap fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
