Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Via Driver holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Via Driver has 4.4K ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Via Driver's written reviews are positive against 27% of DriverAnywhere 4.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Via Driver ships an update every 3 weeks, DriverAnywhere 4.0 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
