# Cartly+ vs Placed AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Placed AI at 75% against Cartly+'s 0%. Placed AI also leads on rating (4.0 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). Cartly+'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cartly+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Placed AI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Placed AI holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Placed AI has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Cartly+'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Placed AI's.

Cartly+ ships an update every 2 weeks, Placed AI every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
