Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RideBCT holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RideBCT has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Boca Shuttles's written reviews are positive against 21% of RideBCT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boca Shuttles ships an update every 61 months, RideBCT every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
