Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Republic Shuttle Services at Free against FAAwait's $0.99. Republic Shuttle Services also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). FAAwait's advantage is chart position (#15 vs unranked) and ratings volume (37 vs 5). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
