Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: NEW MöBus App at none against Dott's shown. NEW MöBus App also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (4 vs 1). Dott's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (30% vs 19%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
