Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Maps 4u at Free against Go's $3.99. Maps 4u also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). Go's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On rating, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
