# Mile vs MileCheck

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.

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.

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.

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