Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: m at 4.1 against NMMT BusTracker's 1.5. m also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (48% vs 21%). NMMT BusTracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
