## Short answers

### What is the best Palworld map?

On 13 Nov 2026 PinDrop's map had the most markers we counted on the main Palpagos map: 35,194 in 56 filters. palworld.th.gl was next with 28,254, plus 68,169 Pal spawn points. Both scored 5/5 on our seven map rows; op.gg had 16,229 markers and MapGenie 11,114.

### What is the best site for Palworld breeding?

PinDrop and op.gg both scored 5/5 on our six breeding rows on 13 Nov 2026: parents to child, every parent pair, a route from the Pals you own, mutations, IVs and tier lists. paldb.cc scored 4 (no tier list), palworld.th.gl 3.5 (no mutations or tier list) and MapGenie 1.5.

### Which Palworld site works without an account?

All six sites we measured on 13 Nov 2026 open their main map without an account. Ticking pins as found without signing in worked on PinDrop and op.gg. MapGenie asks you to log in before it tracks anything and keeps its Pal heatmaps for paying PRO members.

### Which Palworld site lists the most items?

paldb.cc listed 2,500 items across 12 categories on 13 Nov 2026 and palworld.th.gl 2,348. PinDrop has 1,180 item pages with drop chances from the game's loot tables, and links ores such as Coal to their nodes on its map. op.gg's item list would not load past 120 in our browser.

### Is PinDrop free, and does it have ads?

PinDrop is free and needs no account; signing in with Google or Discord only syncs what you found. It does show ads: on 13 Nov 2026 its Palworld map made 20 ad requests in the first 12 seconds on a phone, and a consent banner covered 46% of the screen.

## How we measured

Fresh headless Chromium, clean profile, no account, from Germany. Phone rows on a 390 × 844 screen, others at 1440 × 900. Page weight and ad requests: the first 12 seconds, consent not answered. Category score = 5 × (yes + ½ × partly) ÷ measured rows, rounded to 0.5; a row we could not measure is left out, never counted as a no.

- **Markers on the main map**: Every marker the main Palpagos map offers, Pal spawn points not included (next row). Counted from the site's filter panel, its map data or the layer list, as each value says. Yes = at least 75% of the highest count measured, partly = 40–75%, no = under 40%.
- **Where each Pal spawns, on a map**: The site can show the spawn points or spawn area of a chosen Pal on a map, free and without an account.
- **40+ filter categories**: At least 40 marker categories that can be switched on and off on the main map.
- **Mark markers as found, no account**: A visitor can tick markers as found and hide them, without signing in. Only after signing in = partly.
- **World Tree map**: A separate map of the World Tree (1.0) with its own markers.
- **Says which game version its data is for**: Yes = the site names the game version or build of its data. Partly = only a date or the major version ("1.0"). No = neither found on the map, Pal and breeding pages.
- **Map fills a phone screen without an extra tap**: On a 390 × 844 screen, after the consent window is answered, the map takes most of the screen with no button to press first.
- **A page for every Pal**: A separate page per Pal, counted from the site's Pal list. Yes = at least 95% of the highest count.
- **Pal page: stats, drops, work and partner skill**: One Pal's page (Lamball) shows all four: stats, drops, work suitability and partner skill. Two or three of them = partly.
- **2,000+ items**: Number of items the site lists. Yes = 2,000 or more.
- **Drop sources with chances on the item page**: One item's page (Leather) lists what drops it and with what chance. Sources without chances = partly.
- **Item page links to its map locations**: The page of an item found in the world shows or links to where it is on the map. Tested on Paloxite (World Tree ore); a site that does it only for other items = partly.
- **Full crafting tree down to raw materials**: For a two-step item (Giga Sphere: its Ingot is itself crafted from Ore) the site shows the raw materials, not only the first recipe.
- **Parents → child**: Pick two parents, see the child.
- **Child → every parent pair**: Pick a Pal, see every pair of parents that gives it.
- **Route from the Pals you own**: Tell it which Pals you have; it plans the breeding chain to a target.
- **Mutation calculator**: Shows what a mutated egg from a pair can hatch into.
- **IV calculator**: Enter a Pal's stats, get its IVs (or the reverse).
- **Tier lists**: At least one tier list of Pals.
- **Whole map without an account**: Every map layer is free and opens without signing in. Some layers paid = partly.
- **Map page under 3.5 MB on first load**: Bytes transferred in the first 12 seconds of the map page on a 390 × 844 phone screen, first visit, consent not answered.
- **10 or fewer ad requests**: Requests to ad and ad-tech hosts in the first 12 seconds of the map page on a phone, consent not answered. The count after pressing Accept is shown for reference.
- **No pop-up over 30% of a phone screen**: On the first visit on a 390 × 844 screen, nothing covers more than 30% of it.
- **5+ languages**: Languages the site can be read in, from its language switch or its alternate-language links.
- **Desktop or in-game overlay app**: The site offers its own app for the desktop or an overlay over the game.
- **Progress synced to an account**: Found markers or saved Pals can be kept in an account across devices. We did not sign in anywhere: this is what the site offers.
- **Community features**: Players can share something with other players on the site: comments, tips, shared filters or lists.

### Not measured, and why

- palworld.th.gl · Mark markers as found, no account: No found control in the map panel, and its marker popups are drawn on a canvas our script could not open; its separate Checklists page (Paldeck) needs no account
- op.gg · A page for every Pal: Its Paldeck showed only the first 61 Pals in our browser, even after 70 scroll steps, so the total could not be counted
- op.gg · 2,000+ items: Its item list showed only the first 120 items in our browser, even after 70 scroll steps, so the total could not be counted

## Changes

- 14 Nov 2026: Pilot page. Every value re-measured on 13 Nov 2026 (CET); replaces the 16 Oct 2026 checks of the first draft.
