Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HeliDirect at 4.7 against AMSOIL's 4.2. HeliDirect also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). AMSOIL's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (54% vs 39%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HeliDirect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 676 and 263 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of HeliDirect's written reviews are positive against 54% of AMSOIL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HeliDirect ships an update every 2 months, AMSOIL fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
