Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AeroTrace at none against MapScope's shown. AeroTrace also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). MapScope's advantage is chart position (#87 vs unranked) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AeroTrace sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MapScope sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AeroTrace holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapScope has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
AeroTrace ships an update every 2 days, MapScope every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
