Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AlcalaBus at none against Madrid Transport's 1. AlcalaBus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Madrid Transport's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
