Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NaviSim at Free against Lisbon Offline's $3.99. NaviSim also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Lisbon Offline's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
