Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mr. Traffic at 4.6 against PAKO Lite's 4.0. Mr. Traffic also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). PAKO Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
