Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Borders Buses at fortnightly against Aerial ABW Cabs's every 3 months. Borders Buses also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Aerial ABW Cabs's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Aerial ABW Cabs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Borders Buses has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Aerial ABW Cabs's written reviews are positive against 56% of Borders Buses's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Aerial ABW Cabs ships an update every 3 months, Borders Buses fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
