Verdict
GoNewHaven and Yale Accessible Transit both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Yale Accessible Transit's written reviews are positive against 48% of GoNewHaven's. Yale Accessible Transit also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 21 months). GoNewHaven's advantage is ratings volume (422 vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GoNewHaven holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoNewHaven has 422 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of GoNewHaven's written reviews are positive against 100% of Yale Accessible Transit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GoNewHaven ships an update every 21 months, Yale Accessible Transit every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
