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 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Uber Freight has 13K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Uber Freight's written reviews are positive against 56% of Onward Delivery's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Uber Freight ships an update every 2 weeks, Onward Delivery monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 19, 2026 respectively.
