The call

The clearest difference is rating: Porto Guide Civitatis.com at 5.0 against MetrO's 4.6. Porto Guide Civitatis.com also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). MetrO's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
