Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Database for Terraria at none against MapGenie's shown. Database for Terraria also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 48 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 53%). MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Database for Terraria has 983 ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Database for Terraria's written reviews are positive against 53% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Database for Terraria ships an update fortnightly, MapGenie every 48 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
