Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: De Lijn at 4.8 against MijnLijn's 3.7. De Lijn also leads on ratings volume (145 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). MijnLijn's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 29%) and device support (3 vs 1). 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.
De Lijn holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: De Lijn has 145 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of De Lijn's written reviews are positive against 47% of MijnLijn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
De Lijn ships an update fortnightly, MijnLijn every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
