Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Modernwave at 100% against myChevrolet's 38%. Modernwave also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). myChevrolet's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 47 months) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
