# ÖAMTC vs HANDYPARKEN

ÖAMTC and HANDYPARKEN both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of ÖAMTC's written reviews are positive against 19% of HANDYPARKEN's. ÖAMTC also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). HANDYPARKEN's advantage is ratings volume (688 vs 21). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

HANDYPARKEN holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HANDYPARKEN has 688 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of ÖAMTC's written reviews are positive against 19% of HANDYPARKEN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ÖAMTC ships an update every 3 weeks, HANDYPARKEN every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
