The clearest difference is review sentiment: Walksy at 100% against Transit GO Ticket's 17%. Walksy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Transit GO Ticket's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
