Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: L'va at 100% against Bonjour RATP's 48%. L'va also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Bonjour RATP's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
