Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iTIC at none against ViaBus's 6. iTIC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ViaBus's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 1) and review sentiment (63% vs 50%). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
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. ViaBus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. iTIC asks for nothing beyond the download.
iTIC holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ViaBus has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iTIC's written reviews are positive against 63% of ViaBus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iTIC ships an update every 5 weeks, ViaBus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
