Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aena at 4.4 against T's 1.3. Aena also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (18% vs 5%). T's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
