Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Animath at none against Maphi's shown. Animath also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (221 vs 39). Maphi's advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (10 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
