Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Drive Time at 100% against BlueParrott's 17%. Drive Time also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). BlueParrott's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (7.6K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BlueParrott holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlueParrott has 7.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of BlueParrott's written reviews are positive against 100% of Drive Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
