Verdict
R.W. Elephant and DC DMV both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of R.W. Elephant's written reviews are positive against 36% of DC DMV's. DC DMV's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 13) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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.
DC DMV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DC DMV has 5.2K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of R.W. Elephant's written reviews are positive against 36% of DC DMV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
R.W. Elephant ships an update every 2 months, DC DMV every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
