Every Flock camera on your map, a route around them, and a heads-up before you pass one. Free, with no ads and no tracking. FLOCK, SPEED & RED-LIGHT CAMERAS, BUILT IN Roadar ships with more than 300,000 mapped license-plate readers (Flock and other ALPRs), fixed speed cameras and red-light cameras from the DeFlock project on OpenStreetMap. It warns you before you reach one, on your Lock Screen and even with the app closed. ROUTE AROUND THEM Pick Flock cameras, speed cameras or both, then enter where you're going. Roadar checks every route for cameras, reroutes around each one it finds, and tells you honestly when a camera sits on the only way in. Drive it right in Roadar with voice turn-by-turn directions that keep you on the route you chose. LIVE POLICE & HAZARD ALERTS Drivers ahead tap once to report police, crashes and road hazards, and drivers near them confirm or clear each report. As you approach, Roadar warns you on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, on CarPlay, or with one notification that can break through Driving Focus.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tracer Route at none against Roadar's 1. Tracer Route also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). Roadar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
