Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Let's Ride BC at free with in-app purchases against Prairie Locator's subscription. Let's Ride BC also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
