Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Garaging at none against Mappa Magica's 10. Garaging also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Mappa Magica's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
