Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
JeT Bus Tracker holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTA GoMobile has 173 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of JeT Bus Tracker's written reviews are positive against 9% of RTA GoMobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JeT Bus Tracker ships an update every 10 months, RTA GoMobile every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
