Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.6 against Control Center 2's 1.3. MapGenie also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 6%) and ratings volume (2K vs 83). Control Center 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
