# World Map Challenge! Geography vs Globe Guess 3D

The clearest difference is ads: World Map Challenge! Geography at none against Globe Guess 3D's shown. World Map Challenge! Geography also leads on ratings volume (334 vs 84). Globe Guess 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6).

Both are free to download. World Map Challenge! Geography sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Globe Guess 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Globe Guess 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 334 and 84 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of World Map Challenge!
