Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Route.Me at 5.0 against Clew's 4.1. Route.Me also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Clew's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
