Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Guide.AI at Free against Secret Maps's $6.99. Guide.AI also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Secret Maps's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
