# eSolutions vs Car Key Connect

The clearest difference is rating: Car Key Connect at 4.7 against eSolutions's 3.7. Car Key Connect also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (27K vs 3). eSolutions's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Car Key Connect sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. eSolutions asks for nothing beyond the download.

Car Key Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Car Key Connect has 27K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of eSolutions's written reviews are positive against 15% of Car Key Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

eSolutions ships an update every 4 months, Car Key Connect weekly. The most recent releases landed on July 8, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
