Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RepublicMobile TT holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 55 and 234 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of First Citizens's written reviews are positive against 13% of RepublicMobile TT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
