When using both apps, they're so similar in how images are captured and uploaded. The only other difference I see is that Mapillary has more data which is no surprise since Mapilio is newer. They both have OSM ID integration with Mapillary letting you filter it a tiny bit more. Also Mapilio has a little bit longer upload times.
So from my perspective, aside from the fact that Mapillary is owned by Facebook and Mapilio is owned by a nonprofit and plans to open source, I do not see much of a difference between the two. Based on my understanding, I'd tend towards Mapilio due to the ownership.
Is there any functionality or anything else that I'm missing between the two? They're so similar which is why I was asking.
