# Male' Map vs C

The clearest difference is rating: C at 4.5 against Male' Map's 3.9. C also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 47) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). Male' Map's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (66% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Male' Map asks for nothing beyond the download.

C holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C has 2.3K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Male' Map's written reviews are positive against 51% of C's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Male' Map ships an update every 3 months, C every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
