# MapGenie vs LootAtlas

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LootAtlas at none against MapGenie's 1. LootAtlas also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 24 months). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MapGenie against 5.0 for LootAtlas. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 22 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

MapGenie ships an update every 24 months, LootAtlas every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
