Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: ProDex at every 4 days against MapGenie's every 35 months. ProDex also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 1). MapGenie's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ProDex sells 18 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
