Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vector Mobile at none against Radius Map's shown. Vector Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months) and review sentiment (43% vs 23%). Radius Map's advantage is rating (3.6 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (469 vs 125). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
