Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CarLink at 4.5 against OttoPilot's 2.2. CarLink also leads on review sentiment (42% vs 17%) and ratings volume (957 vs 30). OttoPilot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
