# Bus Loop vs Sea Jam

The clearest difference is rating: Sea Jam at 4.8 against Bus Loop's 4.5. Sea Jam also leads on ratings volume (999 vs 182). Bus Loop's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bus Loop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sea Jam sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sea Jam holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sea Jam has 999 ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Bus Loop ships an update every 3 days, Sea Jam every 11 days. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
