# AUT vs Driving Test Routes

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Driving Test Routes at 74% against AUT's 30%. Driving Test Routes also leads on ratings volume (675 vs 1). AUT's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 16). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Driving Test Routes sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. AUT asks for nothing beyond the download.

AUT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Driving Test Routes has 675 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of AUT's written reviews are positive against 74% of Driving Test Routes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AUT ships an update every 5 weeks, Driving Test Routes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
