Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EZ Access at none against Border Traffic's 2. EZ Access also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Border Traffic's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 44 months) and rating (3.0 vs 2.6). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
