Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TeleStatus at none against Coverage Map's shown. TeleStatus also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Coverage Map's advantage is ratings volume (798 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
