Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MTR Mobile at Free against WaitingBus HK's $0.99. MTR Mobile also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). WaitingBus HK's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
