# Easy BART vs Schedules

The clearest difference is rating: Easy BART at 4.6 against Schedules's 4.0. Easy BART also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 188) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Schedules's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy BART sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Schedules asks for nothing beyond the download.

Easy BART holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Easy BART has 4.2K ratings behind it against 188, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Easy BART's written reviews are positive against 50% of Schedules's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Easy BART ships an update monthly, Schedules every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
