Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Being Boring at none against RouteMap's 1. Being Boring also leads on device support (4 vs 2). RouteMap's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
