# CarOnlineLite vs Earth

The clearest difference is rating: Earth at 4.5 against CarOnlineLite's 2.7. Earth also leads on ratings volume (326 vs 3). CarOnlineLite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Earth sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. CarOnlineLite asks for nothing beyond the download.

Earth holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Earth has 326 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of CarOnlineLite's written reviews are positive against 48% of Earth's.

CarOnlineLite ships an update every 2 weeks, Earth fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
