# ER Companion vs Elden Ring Map

The clearest difference is ads: Elden Ring Map at none against ER Companion's shown. Elden Ring Map also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). ER Companion's advantage is ratings volume (2.9K vs 131) and review sentiment (72% vs 57%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ER Companion sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Elden Ring Map sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for ER Companion against 4.6 for Elden Ring Map. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ER Companion has 2.9K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of ER Companion's written reviews are positive against 57% of Elden Ring Map's.

ER Companion ships an update fortnightly, Elden Ring Map weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
