Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Transfix at 4.8 against GOLDEN ELD's 4.3. Transfix also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 3). GOLDEN ELD's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
