Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Encyclopedia at Free against World Map Pro Edition's $1.99. Encyclopedia also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 37%). World Map Pro Edition's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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
Encyclopedia is free to download; World Map Pro Edition costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
World Map Pro Edition holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Map Pro Edition has 3.1K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of World Map Pro Edition's written reviews are positive against 50% of Encyclopedia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
World Map Pro Edition ships an update every 5 months, Encyclopedia fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
