Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MapGenie at 4.7 against RDR2 Guide's 3.7. MapGenie also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). RDR2 Guide's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 24 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

MapGenie holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 50 and 18 respectively.
