SL Tracker
Read full descriptionHide full description
SL Tracker shows you the next departures. Nothing more, nothing less. Built for Stockholm commuters who are tired of missing the bus by ten seconds and waiting ten minutes for the next one. The official SL app can do a lot, but it's slow and cluttered. SL Tracker does one thing, and does it well: it tells you when to leave. WHAT YOU GET Live departures for every SL station, straight from the official SL Transport API Metro, bus, tram and ferry, filter to just the line you need Home screen widgets with your next 3 departures, no app to open Pin your favorite stations so they're ready the moment you open the app Real-time countdowns and platform numbers, so you leave at the right minute Full dark and light mode FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SL Tracker is free, forever, and open source under the MIT license. No ads, no upsells. Lovingly made by a Stockholmer who just wanted to stop missing the train.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SL Tracker at none against Pendler's 2. SL Tracker also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
