Verdict

The call

Bus Simulator and Truck Simulator both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of Bus Simulator's written reviews are positive against 51% of Truck Simulator's. Bus Simulator also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Truck Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (245K vs 23K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bus Simulator sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Truck Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Bus Simulator against 4.5 for Truck Simulator.

Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Bus Simulator's written reviews are positive against 51% of Truck Simulator's.
