Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Trux Drive holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trux Drive has 2.7K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Trux Drive's written reviews are positive against 100% of FleetWatcher Driver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trux Drive ships an update every 3 weeks, FleetWatcher Driver monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
