Verdict

The call

D&D Beyond and Tears Map both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Tears Map's written reviews are positive against 54% of D&D Beyond's. Tears Map also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). D&D Beyond's advantage is ratings volume (92K vs 10) and chart position (#66 vs unranked).
