# TrackMyBus vs Transit.Tracker

The clearest difference is rating: TrackMyBus at 5.0 against Transit.Tracker's 4.5. TrackMyBus also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). Transit.Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Transit.Tracker sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. TrackMyBus asks for nothing beyond the download.

TrackMyBus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Transit.Tracker has 3.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
