# StreetView Map vs Street Viewer plus

The clearest difference is monetization model: StreetView Map at free with in-app purchases against Street Viewer plus's subscription. StreetView Map also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Street Viewer plus's advantage is ratings volume (596 vs 20) and review sentiment (48% vs 40%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StreetView Map sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.49 per month and Street Viewer plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StreetView Map holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Street Viewer plus has 596 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of StreetView Map's written reviews are positive against 48% of Street Viewer plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

StreetView Map ships an update monthly, Street Viewer plus every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
