Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.8 against OGM's 3.6. MapGenie also leads on ratings volume (212 vs 25). OGM's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (74% vs 55%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OGM 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

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 212 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of OGM's written reviews are positive against 55% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OGM ships an update every 9 days, MapGenie every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
