On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for PWC Trader against 4.8 for Hemmings. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hemmings has 7.4K ratings behind it against 372, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of PWC Trader's written reviews are positive against 31% of Hemmings's.
