# Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop vs The Elder Scrolls Map

The clearest difference is rating: The Elder Scrolls Map at 4.7 against Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop's 4.3. The Elder Scrolls Map also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and The Elder Scrolls Map sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Elder Scrolls Map holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 565 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop's written reviews are positive against 65% of The Elder Scrolls Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Encounter+ Virtual Tabletop ships an update monthly, The Elder Scrolls Map every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
