# Harley vs LiveWire EV

The clearest difference is rating: Harley at 4.8 against LiveWire EV's 3.9. Harley also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (39K vs 113). LiveWire EV's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 34%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Harley holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Harley has 39K ratings behind it against 113, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Harley's written reviews are positive against 48% of LiveWire EV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Harley ships an update every 8 days, LiveWire EV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
