CMU

The CMU app provides services to the network of users that are somehow related to this physical campus. You have access to the campus news and events and can also view Zoom events in the App. A key element of this system is for users to access smart maps of the buildings and locate/navigate themselves even indoors where GPS does not work! You can search for places that are by now marked in these buildings for example restaurants, cafes, WC, elevators, etc. You can also navigate yourself to any of the places of interest. (This feature is currently in limited mode; contact us for more) Feel free to explore and let us know what you think! CMU is powered by Vicinia smart enterprise solutions from cntxts Inc.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CMU at none against Pittsburgh Bus Tracker's 1. CMU also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
