# Ford™ vs Dodge®

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ford™ at free against Dodge®'s free with in-app purchases. Ford™ also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 23K) and chart position (#30 vs unranked). Dodge®'s advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Ford™ against 4.8 for Dodge®. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ford™ has 1.5M ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Ford™'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Dodge®'s.

Ford™ ships an update fortnightly, Dodge® monthly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
