How we checked
Prices and features come from each company's pricing page, feature pages and U.S. App Store listing on October 14, 2026. onX layers were also checked in onX's web map on a Premium plan on October 11, 2026.
“Not listed” means we couldn't find it on their site. That doesn't mean they don't have it. If we got something wrong, email david@nedmaps.com and we'll fix it.
App Store prices can differ from website prices (HuntStand Pro is $29.99 on the App Store; Spartan Forge lists more than one yearly price). We used the website price.
