Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Menevä Taksi at 4.9 against HSL's 3.9. Menevä Taksi also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (44% vs 14%). HSL's advantage is ratings volume (483 vs 94) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
