Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MapPath at none against WayLog's shown. MapPath also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). WayLog's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
