# TrailIntel vs DirtSync

The clearest difference is rating: DirtSync at 5.0 against TrailIntel's 4.3. DirtSync also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). TrailIntel's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TrailIntel sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year. DirtSync asks for nothing beyond the download.

DirtSync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrailIntel has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
