Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Carpay at 4.8 against MAF's 2.3. Carpay also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 40 months) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Carpay holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carpay has 4.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Carpay's written reviews are positive against 50% of MAF's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Carpay ships an update every 5 weeks, MAF every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
