Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Vehicle Maintenance Tracker at none against Auto Lube Specs's shown. Vehicle Maintenance Tracker also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 22 months) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 88). Auto Lube Specs's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 31%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support 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.
Vehicle Maintenance Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vehicle Maintenance Tracker has 2.9K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Vehicle Maintenance Tracker's written reviews are positive against 53% of Auto Lube Specs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Vehicle Maintenance Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Auto Lube Specs every 22 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
