Mappr's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (38% vs 20%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Game Maps IRL sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Mappr sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
