Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EGO Connect at none against Coverage Map's shown. EGO Connect also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (6.5K vs 784). Coverage Map's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
