Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SimplyGo at 4.6 against My SGBus's 4.0. SimplyGo also leads on ratings volume (433 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). My SGBus's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 14%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SimplyGo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SimplyGo has 433 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SimplyGo's written reviews are positive against 50% of My SGBus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SimplyGo ships an update every 2 weeks, My SGBus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
