Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Map Paint at $0.99 against 4x4 Cockpit's $8.99. Map Paint also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). 4x4 Cockpit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 37 months) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
