Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mapsiti at every 2 days against Topo Maps+'s every 3 weeks. Mapsiti also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (73% vs 62%). Topo Maps+'s advantage is ratings volume (9.4K vs 4) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Topo Maps+ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 3 months and Mapsiti sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
