With FAIRTIQ you don’t have to buy a ticket in advance, indicate your destination or struggle to find the right zone. You will always be charged the best available price, once you have completed your journey. It doesn't matter how often you switch directions, or even if you change between trains, buses and trams. With FAIRTIQ there are no hassles, no complications, just smooth and easy travel at fair prices! How it works Shortly before boarding a vehicle, such as train, bus, tram or boat, simply swipe the "Slider" in the FAIRTIQ app. Your final destination does not need to be entered. If a conductor requests ticket validation, click the "Show ticket" button and the QR code will automatically be displayed in the app. Once you have arrived at your destination, swipe the "Slider" back in FAIRTIQ. The optimised cost for your trip is then displayed in the app. Area of validity You will find an overview of the area of validity here https://fairtiq.com/en/passengers/area-of-validity Would you like to know more?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: FAIRTIQ at 4.7 against LIstory's 3.7. FAIRTIQ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (393 vs 10). LIstory's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FAIRTIQ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FAIRTIQ has 393 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of FAIRTIQ's written reviews are positive against 75% of LIstory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FAIRTIQ ships an update fortnightly, LIstory every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
