Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: myESO at none against MapGenie's shown. myESO also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 78) and review sentiment (34% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. myESO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myESO holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 1.5K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of myESO's written reviews are positive against 34% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myESO ships an update monthly, MapGenie every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
