Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flextrip at 100% against TransLoc's 7%. Flextrip also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). TransLoc's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
