Verdict

The call

Tesla and My Porsche both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 61% of Tesla's written reviews are positive against 25% of My Porsche's. Tesla also leads on ratings volume (130K vs 13K) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Tesla against 4.7 for My Porsche. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tesla has 130K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 61% of Tesla's written reviews are positive against 25% of My Porsche's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tesla ships an update every 2 weeks, My Porsche fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 13, 2026.
