# #DRIVE vs Pako Highway

The clearest difference is ratings volume: #DRIVE at 32K against Pako Highway's 694. Pako Highway's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. #DRIVE sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pako Highway sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for #DRIVE against 4.6 for Pako Highway. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: #DRIVE has 32K ratings behind it against 694, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of #DRIVE's written reviews are positive against 74% of Pako Highway's.

#DRIVE ships an update monthly, Pako Highway weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
