# HighwayRadar vs Handback

The clearest difference is rating: Handback at 5.0 against HighwayRadar's 4.6. Handback also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). HighwayRadar's advantage is ratings volume (144 vs 5) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HighwayRadar sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Handback sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Handback holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HighwayRadar has 144 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of HighwayRadar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Handback's.

HighwayRadar ships an update every 11 days, Handback every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
