# Moovit vs Singabus

The clearest difference is ads: Singabus at none against Moovit's shown. Singabus also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Moovit's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (60K vs 527). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moovit sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Singabus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Moovit against 4.7 for Singabus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moovit has 60K ratings behind it against 527, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 56% of Moovit's written reviews are positive against 60% of Singabus's.

Moovit ships an update weekly, Singabus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
