# TP vs TOYOTA DVR

The clearest difference is rating: TOYOTA DVR at 3.0 against TP's 2.3. TOYOTA DVR also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 14.0). TP's advantage is ratings volume (59 vs 2) and review sentiment (32% vs 14%). On price, update cadence, 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.

TOYOTA DVR holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TP has 59 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of TP's written reviews are positive against 14% of TOYOTA DVR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TP ships an update every 3 weeks, TOYOTA DVR every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
