# Petro Path vs DriveTime

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DriveTime at 100% against Petro Path's 31%. DriveTime also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.5). Petro Path's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 2) and chart position (#61 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Petro Path sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and DriveTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DriveTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petro Path has 72 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Petro Path's written reviews are positive against 100% of DriveTime's.

Petro Path ships an update every 3 weeks, DriveTime fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
