Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Finmapz at none against Currency's 2. Finmapz also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Currency's advantage is ratings volume (283 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
