Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aus Map at none against Convenience's 9. Aus Map also leads on ads (none vs shown). Convenience's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
