Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ViaBus at 4.7 against TVIS's 3.3. ViaBus also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). TVIS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ViaBus sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. TVIS asks for nothing beyond the download.
ViaBus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ViaBus has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of TVIS's written reviews are positive against 63% of ViaBus's.
TVIS ships an update every 2 months, ViaBus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
