Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Eco Walks at 4.0 against Metro Mapper's 1.0. Eco Walks also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Metro Mapper's advantage is review sentiment (95% vs 60%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
