Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: myCabCo at 3.7 against myNCDMV's 1.9. myCabCo also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.6). myNCDMV's advantage is ratings volume (776 vs 6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

myCabCo holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myNCDMV has 776 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of myNCDMV's written reviews are positive against 0% of myCabCo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

myNCDMV ships an update every 2 months, myCabCo every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
