Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Metro Tas at 2.1 against Transperth Assist's 1.0. Metro Tas also leads on update cadence (every 6 months vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (39 vs 1). Transperth Assist's advantage is review sentiment (15% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Metro Tas holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metro Tas has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Metro Tas's written reviews are positive against 15% of Transperth Assist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Metro Tas ships an update every 6 months, Transperth Assist every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
