# PatchMap vs VU44

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PatchMap at none against VU44's 1. VU44's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VU44 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PatchMap asks for nothing beyond the download.
