Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OnniBus at 4.9 against Kovanen's 4.3. Kovanen's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OnniBus holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of OnniBus's written reviews are positive against 33% of Kovanen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OnniBus ships an update every 5 weeks, Kovanen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
