Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
JOYIZM holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JOYIZM has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of JOYIZM's written reviews are positive against 75% of CommuteStar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
JOYIZM ships an update every 3 weeks, CommuteStar every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
