Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coverage Map at none against Eligian's 2. Coverage Map also leads on ratings volume (798 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Eligian's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
