Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pathly Maps at none against Pointless Tap's 1. Pathly Maps also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pointless Tap's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
