Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dextopia at none against MapGenie's 1. Dextopia also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 43 months). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 3). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
