Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Passport Memory at 5.0 against SEPTA's 4.4. Passport Memory also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SEPTA's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
