Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Soberlink at 5.0 against BACtrack View's 4.4. Soberlink also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6). BACtrack View's advantage is ratings volume (552 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Soberlink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BACtrack View has 552 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of BACtrack View's written reviews are positive against 13% of Soberlink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BACtrack View ships an update every 3 weeks, Soberlink every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
