Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Taiwan Transit Express at none against 捷道地圖's 1. Taiwan Transit Express also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). 捷道地圖's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
