Verdict

The call

Bus Simulator and Bus Simulator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Bus Simulator's written reviews are positive against 55% of Bus Simulator's. Bus Simulator also leads on chart position (#102 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Bus Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (209K vs 23K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
