The clearest difference is ads: Kytah at none against BusZone's shown. Kytah also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). BusZone's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
