ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Avis against 4.6 for Tripsource. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avis has 461K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Avis's written reviews are positive against 39% of Tripsource's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Avis ships an update every 10 days, Tripsource every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
