A Buser acredita na força da união. União entre pessoas com objetivos em comum. União de pequenos para competir juntos contra os grandes. União de pessoas com famílias e amigos após cada viagem. Na Buser, viajantes podem encontrar pessoas interessadas em fazer uma mesma viagem numa mesma data. E juntas, elas poderão fretar um ônibus executivo para levá-las. Ao invés de comprar passagens individuais na rodoviária, a força da união possibilita que os viajantes fretem um ônibus inteiro, se beneficiando da economia, e pagando até metade do preço das passagens tradicionais. Trabalhamos com empresas com dezenas de anos de experiência em fretamento eventual rodoviário, com motoristas profissionais, ônibus fiscalizados regularmente e com toda a documentação em dia. Essas empresas, de controle familiar, jamais conseguiriam competir com as grandes empresas. Mas juntas, através da Buser, elas conseguem. Unindo viajantes entre sí, e conectando em bloco com pequenas empresas com excelente reputação e segurança, podemos reduzir os preços das viagens. E o Brasil poderá viajar mais, gastando menos, com mais segurança e mais conforto. Buser Fretamento Coletivo: a nova forma de viajar de ônibus!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Buser at none against BlaBlaCar's shown. Buser also leads on device support (3 vs 1). BlaBlaCar's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (16K vs 61). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
