# MapTap.gg vs PubReady

The clearest difference is ads: MapTap.gg at none against PubReady's shown. MapTap.gg also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 3) and chart position (#42 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapTap.gg sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PubReady sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MapTap.gg against 5.0 for PubReady. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapTap.gg has 16K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
