Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Mile at free against MileCheck's freemium. Mile also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 14) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). MileCheck's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Mile sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and MileCheck sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mile has 1.3K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Mile's written reviews are positive against 100% of MileCheck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mile ships an update every 3 weeks, MileCheck weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
