# MapGenie vs TK8

The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.8 against TK8's 3.8. MapGenie also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). TK8's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TK8 asks for nothing beyond the download.

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 2.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of MapGenie's written reviews are positive against 67% of TK8's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MapGenie ships an update every 26 months, TK8 monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
