Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cell Tower Locator Open Signal at every 5 days against CellMapper's every 3 weeks. Cell Tower Locator Open Signal also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 6%) and rating (4.2 vs 4.0). CellMapper's advantage is ratings volume (755 vs 38) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
