Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: De Lijn Flex at 4.0 against MijnLijn's 3.7. De Lijn Flex also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). MijnLijn's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 24%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
