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 clearest difference is update cadence: FAIRTIQ at fortnightly against Swiss A2B's every 27 months. Swiss A2B's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
