Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MapFactor Navigator at 4.7 against CoPilot GPS Navigation's 3.5. MapFactor Navigator also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 35%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). CoPilot GPS Navigation's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#58 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
