Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Nica Bird at none against Bus Simulator's 17. Nica Bird also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 68%). Bus Simulator's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (24K vs 16). On price there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bus Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bus Simulator has 24K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Nica Bird's written reviews are positive against 68% of Bus Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
