Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coverage Map at 68% against My Mobile Coverage's 8%. Coverage Map also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (798 vs 1). My Mobile Coverage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
