# MapGenie vs Raiders Map

The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.8 against Raiders Map's 3.5. MapGenie also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 227). Raiders Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 26 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Raiders Map sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 2.6K ratings behind it against 227, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of MapGenie's written reviews are positive against 29% of Raiders Map's.

MapGenie ships an update every 26 months, Raiders Map every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
