People often ask about how OakCrime is different from this commercial alternative. The FAQ captures some basic reasons, and mentions two previous attempts at direct comparisons: June, 2013; and March, 2014.

It would be great to produce comparison of current OakCrime with current CrimeMapping stats. However, at the moment (Sept 5 2017) it appears CrimeMapping.com does not allow data download (or even scraping!) to support updated comparisons.
