ClearedMap vs Shackmaps

ClearedMap is an unofficial fan-made web platform with interactive maps, progress checklists, and tools for open-world games. Community contributors survey markers and publish them with screenshot proof; the project says it does not use datamined material. The free plan costs nothing and includes every map and marker, an unlimited checklist, notes, and drawings, without requiring an account. Checklist progress is stored in the browser. Signing in enables backup and syncing across devices and a shareable link to progress. Pro currently adds a founding badge, custom marker collections, and a route planner that orders markers still needed. ClearedMap Pro costs $2.99 a month, or 19.99 USD one payment for the founding plan, valid for as long as the site exists. Ad-free browsing and a vote on the next game hub are listed as being built. The platform covers three games; its fan-contributed marker data remains a work in progress, and visitors can report errors.

Shackmaps is a free interactive map site for video games. Visitors can search for a game or choose a map linked from the homepage, then browse locations and track completion progress. Its Red Dead Redemption 2 map includes locations such as Legendary Animals, Legendary Fish, Dinosaur Bones, Rock Carvings, and Cigarette Cards. Shacknews says the site was created to give players and developers another option for interactive game maps. Maps are made with game experts and maintained through continued updates; Shacknews says it works with developers where possible. Browsing does not require an account. A free Google or Apple sign-in is needed to track progress, place custom pins, or suggest pins. The site says it has no subscription or paywall. Its privacy policy says account setup stores email addresses and checked pins, which are encrypted at rest, and that user data is not sold. The terms restrict use to personal, non-commercial purposes and say the site is not intended for children under 16 without parental consent.
