Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UP NYC at none against Thryfty's shown. UP NYC also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 469). Thryfty's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Thryfty against 4.8 for UP NYC. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UP NYC has 3.9K ratings behind it against 469, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 94% of Thryfty's written reviews are positive against 73% of UP NYC's.
Thryfty ships an update every 6 weeks, UP NYC every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
