Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CodeGPS at none against Driver's shown. CodeGPS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Driver's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Driver sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CodeGPS sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CodeGPS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Driver has 13K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
