Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LoJack Dealer at 4.9 against TECOBI App's 4.2. LoJack Dealer also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 37). TECOBI App's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 41%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
LoJack Dealer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LoJack Dealer has 2.2K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of LoJack Dealer's written reviews are positive against 82% of TECOBI App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
LoJack Dealer ships an update every 6 weeks, TECOBI App weekly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
