They’re not really comparable. OSM on its own is basically a database, and an ecosystem with some apps of varying quality built on top.

Google Maps is a standalone end-to-end application with best-in-class POI search, POI metadata, reviews, routing based on live traffic, ETA based on live traffic, etc.

MapOut is very good, paid but worth it. I tried many others before.
