Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Map Switch at none against GPX File Navigation's 2. Map Switch also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). GPX File Navigation's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
