Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DEH Lite at none against FindTransit TW's 2. DEH Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). FindTransit TW's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
