Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Power Grid Map at 5.0 against GridSure's 4.5. Power Grid Map also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). GridSure's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
