Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VMDAEC Outage Map at none against Power Grid Map's shown. VMDAEC Outage Map also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Power Grid Map's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
