Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Troom at 88% against De Lijn Flex's 24%. Troom also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). De Lijn Flex's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
