Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EL AL at 4.4 against TravIL's 1.0. EL AL also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). TravIL's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
