Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RegioJet at 4.7 against BudapestGO's 2.9. RegioJet also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (695 vs 146). BudapestGO's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). 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.
RegioJet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 695 and 146 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of RegioJet's written reviews are positive against 20% of BudapestGO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RegioJet ships an update fortnightly, BudapestGO every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
