MapGenie vs MetaForge

MapGenie is an interactive game map website for tracking progress and locating game features. Its maps cover titles including Far Cry, Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed, and it also publishes Android map apps for games such as Elden Ring, RDR2, Tears of the Kingdom and Genshin Impact. The service has a free plan and is available on the web, Android and iOS. On PC, users can right-click a map location to submit a suggestion for moderator review. The team shares updates about maps in progress and released maps; planned titles it has listed include Kingdom Hearts III, Titan Quest 1 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. MapGenie does not publish plan prices on its site. A representative says PRO upgrades are one-time purchases that provide lifetime features for the specific game's map or maps. The iOS app supports iPhone and iPad on iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 and later, and Macs with Apple M1 chips or later on macOS 12 or later. Its listing includes advertising and reports possible collection of email, user ID, usage and crash data not linked to identity; usage data may be used to track users across other companies' apps and websites.

MetaForge provides game guides, databases, maps, interactive tools, and community features for players. Its resources include timers, trading, and inventory tools. The WARDOGS section adds a database, ballistics charts, interactive maps, leaderboards, and a Looking for Group area. Its Apple and Android apps include a database, leaderboards, ballistics, squads, server status, and Black Market rates. On desktop, the MetaForge Overlay offers an event timer HUD, ARC item scanner, needed-items tracker, minimap sync, second-monitor support, and hideout tracker. It is powered by Overwolf, and the FAQ says it cannot be used on consoles because consoles block overlays. Linking an Embark ID can sync game progression for the needed-items tracker. MetaForge offers a free plan and monthly supporter tiers: Rare Supporter at 11.49 PLN, Epic Supporter at 19.18 PLN, and Legendary Supporter at 38.39 PLN. The tiers offer varying limits for private map routes, markers, builds or loadouts, and marketplace listing bumps, along with ad-free browsing. Support is directed through FAQs and a Discord ticket system.
