Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HRT GoMobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HRT GoMobile has 163 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Sprinter Bus's written reviews are positive against 9% of HRT GoMobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sprinter Bus ships an update every 16 months, HRT GoMobile every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
