Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Clinometer+ at Free against Vehicle Clinometer's $0.99. Clinometer+ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (1K vs 59). Vehicle Clinometer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.6). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Clinometer+ is free to download; Vehicle Clinometer costs $0.99 up front. Clinometer+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Vehicle Clinometer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Clinometer+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clinometer+ has 1K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Vehicle Clinometer's written reviews are positive against 48% of Clinometer+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
