Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cartomizer at none against CarRim's shown. Cartomizer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (86% vs 67%). CarRim's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
