Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BusLoop at none against Trip2gather's 6. BusLoop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.5). Trip2gather's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
