# iCarView vs Infocar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Infocar at 71% against iCarView's 0%. Infocar also leads on ratings volume (290 vs 1). iCarView's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infocar sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. iCarView asks for nothing beyond the download.

iCarView holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infocar has 290 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iCarView's written reviews are positive against 71% of Infocar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iCarView ships an update every 4 weeks, Infocar every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
