Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Convoy at 4.6 against DrayNow's 3.9. Convoy also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 51). DrayNow's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (52% vs 39%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Convoy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Convoy has 3.7K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Convoy's written reviews are positive against 52% of DrayNow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Convoy ships an update every 3 weeks, DrayNow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
