Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Miles at 4.8 against Snel's 3.8. Miles also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 56%) and ratings volume (159 vs 4). Snel's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
