Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: De Lijn at fortnightly against TEC à la demande's every 2 months. TEC à la demande's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
