Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: American Bagger at 4.8 against Transit's 4.4. Transit's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 40%) and ratings volume (44 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Transit sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and American Bagger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
American Bagger holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transit has 44 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Transit's written reviews are positive against 40% of American Bagger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Transit ships an update every 3 months, American Bagger every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
