Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jetstar at 4.7 against Melbourne Rail Map Lite's 3.3. Jetstar also leads on ratings volume (748 vs 3). Melbourne Rail Map Lite's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Jetstar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetstar has 748 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Jetstar's written reviews are positive against 67% of Melbourne Rail Map Lite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jetstar ships an update every 6 weeks, Melbourne Rail Map Lite every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
