Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: ARCCTV at #135 against Mapvia's unranked. ARCCTV also leads on review sentiment (14% vs 3%) and device support (3 vs 1). Mapvia's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (588 vs 102). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
