Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MapOut at 96% against Swiss Pro Map's 34%. MapOut also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Swiss Pro Map's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
