Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kerb at 5.0 against Metro Tas's 2.1. Kerb also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 7%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). Metro Tas's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
