Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Git Blog at none against Mapable's shown. Git Blog also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Mapable's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
