Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MineAR at 5.0 against Augmented Reality Map's 4.0. MineAR also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Augmented Reality Map's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Augmented Reality Map sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MineAR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MineAR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MineAR has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
