Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.5 against WishCounter's 3.4. MapGenie also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 11). WishCounter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 36 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WishCounter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 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, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 3.2K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of MapGenie's written reviews are positive against 57% of WishCounter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MapGenie ships an update every 36 months, WishCounter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
