Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bolt at none against TaxiF's shown. Bolt also leads on ratings volume (181K vs 16K) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). TaxiF's advantage is review sentiment (51% vs 27%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Bolt against 4.7 for TaxiF. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bolt has 181K ratings behind it against 16K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 27% of Bolt's written reviews are positive against 51% of TaxiF's.

Bolt ships an update weekly, TaxiF fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 27, 2026.
