Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Satellite Transponders at 58% against MITe's 12%. Satellite Transponders also leads on rating (4.3 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (292 vs 20). MITe's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
