Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
FourKites holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FourKites has 200 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of FourKites's written reviews are positive against 50% of CarrierView Driver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FourKites ships an update every 6 weeks, CarrierView Driver every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 30, 2026 respectively.
