Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Prokedex at weekly against MapGenie's every 48 months. Prokedex also leads on ratings volume (996 vs 20). MapGenie's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Prokedex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for MapGenie against 4.8 for Prokedex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prokedex has 996 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of MapGenie's written reviews are positive against 82% of Prokedex's.
MapGenie ships an update every 48 months, Prokedex weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
