Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lytx Driver at 4.5 against Trimble D2Link 3's 2.0. Lytx Driver also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (455 vs 7). Trimble D2Link 3's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lytx Driver holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lytx Driver has 455 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Trimble D2Link 3's written reviews are positive against 27% of Lytx Driver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trimble D2Link 3 ships an update every 2 months, Lytx Driver every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
