Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mapper at fortnightly against Smart Switch's every 3 months. Smart Switch's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
