Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Chard Navigator at 100% against Modo Carshare's 16%. Modo Carshare's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
