Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pothole Tracker at none against Traffic Maps's 4. Pothole Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Traffic Maps's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
