Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: App Spotshot at 56% against map's 0%. App Spotshot also leads on price (Free vs $29.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). map's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
