Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CompassNavi at none against MapCompass's shown. CompassNavi also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13). MapCompass's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 29 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
