# The Elder Scrolls Map vs TES BotSE Companion

The clearest difference is rating: The Elder Scrolls Map at 4.7 against TES BotSE Companion's 4.2. The Elder Scrolls Map also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). TES BotSE Companion's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 68%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Elder Scrolls Map sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and TES BotSE Companion sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Elder Scrolls Map has 1.3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of The Elder Scrolls Map's written reviews are positive against 80% of TES BotSE Companion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

The Elder Scrolls Map ships an update every 2 weeks, TES BotSE Companion every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
