Contors vs onX Hunt
onX Hunt is the biggest name in hunting maps, and if you chase elk in Colorado one week and turkeys in Missouri the next, its breadth is the point. But breadth has a price — literally: all-state coverage costs $99.99/yr on Elite, and every species onX serves dilutes the attention any one of them gets. Contors spends 100% of its product on whitetail — and covers every state on a $39.99/yr plan with a 14-day trial to onX’s 7.

Where onX Hunt fits
Multi-species hunters, Western public-land hunts, draw-odds research and hunting-unit boundaries — that is onX’s home turf, and Elite’s leaf-off imagery and TerrainX are capable tools for it.
Where Contors pulls ahead for whitetail
Scout does something no feature list line can convey: it acts. Ask where mature bucks bed and it reads your boundary, cover, pressure and today’s wind — then drops the markers, plans the sit, and explains why. The Buck Refuge Model turns your own scouting into a bedding-security heat map of your ground, not a generic layer. Every state is included at every price. The trial is twice as long. And nationwide landowner contact data on Contors Unlimited is $79.99/yr — $20 under Elite.
The base map story matters too: Contors carries three satellite providers — Google, Esri and USDA NAIP — plus full USGS topo, with lidar terrain shading included on every tier and layered over both topo and satellite; onX reserves its advanced terrain analysis for Elite. Add the Buck Tracker & Trophy Room with AI aging and scoring from trail-cam photos, AI stand ratings against live wind, two-tap in-app support, and a referral program that earns you and a buddy free months.
Bottom line
Hunting five species in five states? onX. Hunting whitetail seriously? Contors was built for exactly you — and the 14-day trial means you can prove it on your own property before paying a dime.
