OpenStop

The goal of the app is to collect barrier data in public transportation with your help and make it available on OpenStreetMap so that EVERYONE can benefit from it. By asking simple questions about stops, the app enables citizens to collect data in their surroundings in an accessible way. The data shall be the foundation for better routing especially for impaired people and lead to a renovation of non accessible stops, as well as many other things we ourselves can't even imagine right now. Thank you for your contribution to better public transportation :)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Egal Drive at every 2 months against OpenStop's every 6 months. OpenStop's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
