Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Renfe holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Renfe has 3.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Renfe's written reviews are positive against 13% of ArroyoBus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Renfe ships an update every 3 weeks, ArroyoBus monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
