Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Database for Terraria at none against MapGenie's shown. Database for Terraria also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 48 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 53%). MapGenie's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Database for Terraria sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Database for Terraria has 983 ratings behind it against 144, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Database for Terraria's written reviews are positive against 53% of MapGenie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
