Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MIRI App at none against Rain Maps's 1. MIRI App also leads on ads (none vs shown). Rain Maps's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#181 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
