Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GO Miami at every 5 weeks against SIBshuttle's every 31 months. GO Miami also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 9). SIBshuttle's advantage is rating (2.0 vs 1.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SIBshuttle holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GO Miami has 1.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of GO Miami's written reviews are positive against 0% of SIBshuttle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GO Miami ships an update every 5 weeks, SIBshuttle every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
