Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PID Lítačka at 4.8 against BudapestGO's 2.9. PID Lítačka also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 20%) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 146). BudapestGO's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
