Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: LandstarOne® at 9K against Mainfreight's 2. LandstarOne® also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Mainfreight's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, 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

Mainfreight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LandstarOne® has 9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Mainfreight's written reviews are positive against 59% of LandstarOne®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mainfreight ships an update every 3 months, LandstarOne® monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
