Know your land before you plan your next step. Measure fields, fences and walking routes, then save, compare and share your work with CalculateMap. MEASURE THE WAY YOU WORK β’ Tap boundary points on the map, position a crosshair, draw freehand, enter latitude and longitude, or walk with GPS. β’ See area, perimeter and distance update as you measure. Create circles to check radius and circumference, or save a location marker. β’ Move points and use undo or redo while drawing to refine the shape before saving. WALK A BOUNDARY OR ROUTE Record points as you walk, pause and resume, close a boundary and review your result before saving. View GPS accuracy and choose recording settings to suit your walk. Keep the app open while recording. USE THE MAP AND UNITS YOU NEED Search for places or coordinates. Switch between standard, satellite and hybrid maps to understand the ground. View results in acres, hectares, square meters, square feet and other supported metric or imperial units. SEE HOW A PLACE HAS CHANGED Explore available historical satellite imagery from 2014 onward and compare it with the latest available view. Check changes around fields, buildings or access routes. Coverage and capture dates vary by location and provider; daily imagery loading limits apply. KEEP EACH SITE TOGETHER Save measurements in named, color-coded projects. Search and filter your saved places by project or measurement type, then view a project's shapes together on the map. With Plus, rename saved places, add notes and edit boundaries instead of starting again. MEASURE WITH YOUR CAMERA Plus includes AR tools for camera-based distance and area measurements on compatible devices. Keep a camera snapshot with the saved result. On a compatible LiDAR-equipped iPhone, scan a room to review floor area, perimeter, wall area and ceiling height, and export its 3D model as USDZ. IMPORT, EXPORT AND SHARE With Plus, bring in KML or GPX files and export individual map measurements in either format. Share several files in a project-organized ZIP archive, or share a map snapshot to make a measurement easier to explain. SAVE ON YOUR DEVICE, SYNC WITH ICLOUD Your measurements are stored on your device and can sync through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available. No separate CalculateMap account is required. START FREE. CHOOSE PLUS FOR REPEAT FIELDWORK. The free plan includes up to 10 saved places, 2 custom projects in addition to Default, 1 saved GPS walk, and the Now and 2016 imagery options where available. CalculateMap Plus removes the saved-place, project and GPS-walk limits. It also unlocks the available historical years and Compare, saved-place editing, KML/GPX import and export, ZIP sharing, AR measurement and compatible LiDAR room scans. Why upgrade? Keep more sites organized, refine existing boundaries, compare changes and take your files into other mapping tools. Spend less time rebuilding measurements and more time planning your next fence, field task or site visit. Map, GPS and camera measurements are estimates, not legal property boundaries or a professional survey. Results depend on map data, GPS conditions and device capabilities. Plus is a paid subscription; plans and eligible trials are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Landplot at none against CalculateMap's 2. Landplot also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). CalculateMap's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
