Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Measure Map Pro at none against DistancePinner's shown. Measure Map Pro also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 63%) and ratings volume (841 vs 269). DistancePinner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DistancePinner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 841 and 269 respectively.
