Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CircleChek holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bus Status has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of CircleChek's written reviews are positive against 11% of Bus Status's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CircleChek ships an update every 7 months, Bus Status every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
