Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Paltopia at every 3 weeks against MapGenie's every 48 months. Paltopia also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 53%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Paltopia sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MapGenie ships an update every 48 months, Paltopia every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
