Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: X at 100% against Transit Stop's 48%. X also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Transit Stop's advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 4) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
