# Easy BART vs SF Muni Buses

The clearest difference is ads: Easy BART at none against SF Muni Buses's shown. Easy BART also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy BART sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SF Muni Buses sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Easy BART holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy BART has 4.1K ratings behind it against 809, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Easy BART's written reviews are positive against 27% of SF Muni Buses's.

Easy BART ships an update monthly, SF Muni Buses every 4 months. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
