# LoJack vs GoToMyCar

The clearest difference is price: LoJack at Free against GoToMyCar's $3.99. LoJack also leads on ratings volume (94K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

LoJack is free to download; GoToMyCar costs $3.99 up front. LoJack sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $129.99 per year and GoToMyCar sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for LoJack against 5.0 for GoToMyCar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LoJack has 94K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

LoJack ships an update every 2 months, GoToMyCar every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
