MapGenie vs RaiderBuddy

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.

RaiderBuddy is a companion app for ARC Raiders with event timers, maps, progress tracking, and loadout tools. Its timers show live conditions and upcoming events across five server regions. Interactive maps identify loot, ARC enemies, resources, locked rooms, and quest locations, and allow user-created markers. Players can track quests and weekly trial objectives, check needed items, and follow blueprint progress. Build tools support planning and sharing skill builds, viewing weapon stats, and creating shareable weapon tier lists. A free Windows overlay displays event timers, trials, and the user's list over the game. The tools work without an account; signing in allows progress to be kept across devices. RaiderBuddy is available on the web, as an extension, and for Windows, with no mobile apps. Premium adds an ad-free experience, event notifications, saved builds, private map markers, blueprint and progress syncing, and trial spawn locations. Premium Yearly is €2.99 a year, billed yearly, and Premium Monthly is €4.99 a month; both list a seven-day free trial. RaiderBuddy describes itself as a fan project unaffiliated with Embark Studios or ARC Raiders.
