Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Share the World at none against Lite Maps's shown. Share the World also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). Lite Maps's advantage is ratings volume (161 vs 5). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
