Dark & Builder's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Elder Scrolls Map sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Dark & Builder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
