Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chipmunk holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chipmunk has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Blaise Transit's written reviews are positive against 9% of Chipmunk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blaise Transit ships an update monthly, Chipmunk every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 19, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
