# Transit Stats vs Arrive Chicago Transit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Transit Stats at 86% against Arrive Chicago Transit's 50%. Transit Stats also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). Arrive Chicago Transit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transit Stats sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Arrive Chicago Transit asks for nothing beyond the download.

Arrive Chicago Transit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Transit Stats's written reviews are positive against 50% of Arrive Chicago Transit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
