MijnLijn is een applicatie waarbij gebruikers eenvoudig de eerstkomende bussen/trams van hun favoriete haltes kunnen opvragen. Via de app kan je snel alle naburige haltes opzoeken en de tijdroosters in een oogwenk opvragen. Er is een doorzoekbare lijst met alle haltes in Vlaanderen en Brussel. Je kan de haltes toevoegen aan een lijst met jouw favoriete haltes zodat je steeds snel in een handomdraai weet over hoeveel minuten jouw bus of tram aankomt op de halte. Er is ook een map weergave waarop alle haltes in de buurt zichtbaar zijn. Merk overigens op dat deze applicatie enkel werkt voor bussen en trams van De Lijn. Internet verbinding is vereist daar de RealTime informatie afkomstig is van DeLijn.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: De Lijn at 4.7 against MijnLijn's 3.7. De Lijn also leads on ratings volume (136 vs 3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). MijnLijn's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (47% vs 29%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
De Lijn holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: De Lijn has 136 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of De Lijn's written reviews are positive against 47% of MijnLijn's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
De Lijn ships an update fortnightly, MijnLijn every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 3, 2026 respectively.
