# World Quiz vs MapGame!

The clearest difference is ratings volume: World Quiz at 21K against MapGame!'s 420. World Quiz also leads on chart position (#32 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). MapGame!'s advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Quiz sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MapGame! 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 World Quiz against 4.8 for MapGame!. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Quiz has 21K ratings behind it against 420, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 78% and 78% positive.

World Quiz ships an update every 2 months, MapGame! monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
