Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jetstar at 53% against NT Bus Tracker's 0%. Jetstar also leads on ratings volume (748 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months).

NT Bus Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetstar has 748 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Jetstar's written reviews are positive against 0% of NT Bus Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jetstar ships an update every 6 weeks, NT Bus Tracker every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
