Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Racemap at none against Trail Connect's 9. Racemap also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 33%). Trail Connect's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
