Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mikuture at 86% against MapGenie's 43%. Mikuture also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 453). On price and device support 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
Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mikuture asks for nothing beyond the download.
MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 3.2K ratings behind it against 453, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Mikuture's written reviews are positive against 43% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mikuture ships an update every 3 months, MapGenie every 36 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
