The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ControlMine at none against Topo Maps+'s 11. ControlMine also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Topo Maps+'s advantage is chart position (#68 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
