Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Estacion GPS at none against Guru Maps's 3. Estacion GPS also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). Guru Maps's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and chart position (#161 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
