# Lyft vs BRATS ON

The clearest difference is ads: BRATS ON at none against Lyft's shown. BRATS ON also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Lyft's advantage is ratings volume (18M vs 102) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lyft against 4.8 for BRATS ON. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lyft has 18M ratings behind it against 102, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Lyft's written reviews are positive against 50% of BRATS ON's.

Lyft ships an update weekly, BRATS ON monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
