I use both all the time. Organic Maps rendering and navigation feels snappier, even with 2.5D support, and less cluttered, but since I do contribute to OpenStreetMap, OsmAnd is unmatched for editing and access to power tools like up-to-date data, GPS tracking, PDI editions, etc.
Unfortunately, in my country the map is not as complete as the proprietary options, so, using OsmAnd is more practical for me. As a regular user, though, I'd prefer Organic Maps.
@selokichtli @warm Ever used #StreetComplete?

It is really helpfull If you wish enhancing OSM
I actually have used it. It's very thorough but I find out more useful for areas where mapping is already good, while the areas I contribute to are not as well mapped. Every Door is also a great tool!

Streetcomplete meanwhile has an overlay for POIs also.
This Overlay is may not that detailed but after you placed a new poi the streetcomplete usual feature ask for details.
