Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CargoFar at free against Convoy's free with in-app purchases. CargoFar also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Convoy's advantage is ratings volume (3.7K vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
