Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Sky Goat at 5.0 against Connect Transit App's 4.4. Connect Transit App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (46 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Sky Goat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Connect Transit App has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
