Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Schoolbus Driver 3D SIM at none against Bus Simulator's shown. Schoolbus Driver 3D SIM also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Bus Simulator's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (23K vs 215). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
