Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Heathrow Express at 4.8 against App for Cornwall's 3.0. Heathrow Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 2). App for Cornwall's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Heathrow Express holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heathrow Express has 6.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Heathrow Express's written reviews are positive against 67% of App for Cornwall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Heathrow Express ships an update every 3 weeks, App for Cornwall every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
