ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dash Cam Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9.

Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Dash Cam Plus's written reviews are positive against 35% of StellarMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dash Cam Plus ships an update every 28 months, StellarMate every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
