Traffic Jam Fever is free to download; Freeways costs $2.99 up front. Traffic Jam Fever sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Freeways asks for nothing beyond the download.
Traffic Jam Fever holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Traffic Jam Fever has 28K ratings behind it against 507, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Freeways's written reviews are positive against 7% of Traffic Jam Fever's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Freeways ships an update every 2 months, Traffic Jam Fever monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
