Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: D&D Character at 100% against MapMe's 58%. D&D Character also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ads (none vs shown). MapMe's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapMe sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and D&D Character sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
D&D Character holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapMe has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of MapMe's written reviews are positive against 100% of D&D Character's.
MapMe ships an update every 11 days, D&D Character every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
