Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MVGO at 4.7 against ÖBB Tickets's 1.9. MVGO also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (38% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

MVGO holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9.
