Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ГдеБЕНЗ at 4.6 against Element Smart Driving's 1.7. ГдеБЕНЗ also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (493 vs 6). Element Smart Driving's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ГдеБЕНЗ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ГдеБЕНЗ has 493 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Element Smart Driving's written reviews are positive against 30% of ГдеБЕНЗ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Element Smart Driving ships an update every 2 months, ГдеБЕНЗ daily. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
