Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Cedar Bus Co. holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MDO Carshare has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of MDO Carshare's written reviews are positive against 0% of The Cedar Bus Co.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MDO Carshare ships an update monthly, The Cedar Bus Co. every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
