Verdict
The clearest difference is price: CoMaps at Free against Digi Compass's $2.99. CoMaps also leads on chart position (#193 vs unranked). Digi Compass's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
