# JTPlayer vs MapGenie

The clearest difference is ads: JTPlayer at none against MapGenie's shown. JTPlayer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 37 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JTPlayer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 38 and 55 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of JTPlayer's written reviews are positive against 100% of MapGenie's.

JTPlayer ships an update fortnightly, MapGenie every 37 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
