Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ArrivalOS at free against Mist Map's paid. ArrivalOS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Mist Map's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
