Visual Drive gives you feedback about your driving, helping you become a safer and better driver. Visual Drive automatically detects when driving starts and stops, and uses the phone’s sensors to measure your vehicle’s driving dynamics. It uses low-power sensing methods to reduce battery consumption. The app shows you trip summaries, details on maneuvers, and gives you useful feedback to become a better driver. It also acts a low-power logger of all of your driving trips. This version of the application supports the Visual Drive Tag device. By linking seamlessly with the smartphone app, the tag accurately calculates vehicle maneuvers. The Visual Drive tag requires a bluetooth connection. Visual Drive runs in the background and uses GPS. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Visual Drive is intended for customers only. We request email, name and phone number to verify eligibility. Some customers may be asked to enter policy number and group ID (these fields are optional).

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Visual Drive at none against Texaco's shown. Visual Drive also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). Texaco's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 33%) and ratings volume (12K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
