Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Neighbor at 4.7 against Car's 2.6. Neighbor also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 10) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Car's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 35%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
Neighbor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Neighbor has 13K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Neighbor's written reviews are positive against 67% of Car's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Neighbor ships an update every 2 weeks, Car every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
