Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Starlight Driver at 75% against Uber Freight's 27%. Starlight Driver also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 18.0). Uber Freight's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (13K vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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.
Uber Freight holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uber Freight has 13K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Uber Freight's written reviews are positive against 75% of Starlight Driver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
