The clearest difference is price: MapGenie at Free against NetSpeedCheck's $1.99. MapGenie also leads on ratings volume (162 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). NetSpeedCheck's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

MapGenie is free to download; NetSpeedCheck costs $1.99 up front. MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and NetSpeedCheck sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
NetSpeedCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 162 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
