Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: MapTap.gg at 18K against TeachSpark's 1. MapTap.gg also leads on chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MapTap.gg sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TeachSpark sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MapTap.gg against 5.0 for TeachSpark. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapTap.gg has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
