Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mapa MEC at none against Border Traffic's 2. Mapa MEC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Border Traffic's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
