# 实时公交 vs 天津地铁通

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 实时公交 at 74% against 天津地铁通's 38%. 实时公交 also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). 天津地铁通's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 实时公交 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 天津地铁通 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

天津地铁通 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 19 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of 实时公交's written reviews are positive against 38% of 天津地铁通's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

实时公交 ships an update monthly, 天津地铁通 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
