Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ProDex at 88% against MapGenie's 56%. ProDex also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 26 months). MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ProDex sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.9K and 2.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of ProDex's written reviews are positive against 56% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ProDex ships an update every 3 days, MapGenie every 26 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
