Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Urbvan at 4.5 against Excelencia Plus's 2.0. Urbvan also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (240 vs 1). Excelencia Plus's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (33% vs 20%). On price, 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.
Urbvan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Urbvan has 240 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Urbvan's written reviews are positive against 33% of Excelencia Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Urbvan ships an update fortnightly, Excelencia Plus every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
