Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MVV at 4.7 against taxi.eu's 3.6. MVV also leads on ratings volume (899 vs 109). taxi.eu's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 29%). On price, update cadence, 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MVV holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MVV has 899 ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of MVV's written reviews are positive against 43% of taxi.eu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MVV ships an update every 6 weeks, taxi.eu every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
