Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Pride at 3.7 against SmartDrive MX2+'s 3.1. My Pride also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months). SmartDrive MX2+'s advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 0%) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My Pride holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartDrive MX2+ has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of SmartDrive MX2+'s written reviews are positive against 0% of My Pride's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SmartDrive MX2+ ships an update every 15 months, My Pride every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on July 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
