SIMPLE TRUCK ELD holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DirtRoad has 50 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SIMPLE TRUCK ELD's written reviews are positive against 8% of DirtRoad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SIMPLE TRUCK ELD ships an update fortnightly, DirtRoad every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
