Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Other Side Camera at none against MapLayers's shown. Other Side Camera also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MapLayers's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
