Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mapmelon at 100% against Outsite's 50%. Mapmelon also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). Outsite's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
