Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Primera Plus at 4.8 against Metro CDMX's 3.0. Primera Plus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2K vs 7). Metro CDMX's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Primera Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Primera Plus has 2K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Primera Plus's written reviews are positive against 54% of Metro CDMX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Primera Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Metro CDMX every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
