# MINI vs EVPassport

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MINI at 60% against EVPassport's 6%. MINI also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.3) and ratings volume (26K vs 100). On price, update cadence, 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.

MINI holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.3.
