Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Spectangle Pro at Free against map's $2.99. Spectangle Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). map's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
