Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BC Tracking at none against Transit.Tracker's 6. BC Tracking also leads on ads (none vs shown). Transit.Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
