# My BMW vs U

The clearest difference is ratings volume: My BMW at 501K against U's 1. My BMW also leads on chart position (#66 vs unranked). U's advantage is iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My BMW has 501K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
