The use of the LIEbikes is controlled by the app, why registration is necessary in advance.

The LIEbike team will check your personal information and send you a confirmation as soon as possible. 2. Locate a station near you. The locations of the LIEbike stations can be found on the app. 3. Select an e-bike and scan the QR code on the bike. 4. Select the support mode from 1 to 5 on the display. 5. Start riding! 6.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Swiss Youth Hostels at 3.5 against Liebike's 1.0. Swiss Youth Hostels also leads on review sentiment (17% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). Liebike's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
