Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myChevrolet at 4.8 against Tow's 2.5. myChevrolet also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). Tow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
