Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cheval at 4.9 against Edinburgh Bus Tours's 4.3. Edinburgh Bus Tours's advantage is review sentiment (18% vs 0%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cheval holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 155 and 92 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Cheval's written reviews are positive against 18% of Edinburgh Bus Tours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cheval ships an update every 2 months, Edinburgh Bus Tours monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
