Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MK Pro at 83% against MapGenie's 33%. MK Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 43 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MK Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MK Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 47 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
