Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Öffis at 81% against VVS Live Timetable's 0%. Öffis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). VVS Live Timetable's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
VVS Live Timetable holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Öffis has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Öffis's written reviews are positive against 0% of VVS Live Timetable's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Öffis ships an update every 3 weeks, VVS Live Timetable every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
