# Car Widgets vs LapOne

The clearest difference is ads: LapOne at none against Car Widgets's shown. LapOne also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Car Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (142 vs 7). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Car Widgets sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and LapOne sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Car Widgets against 4.4 for LapOne. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Car Widgets has 142 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Car Widgets's written reviews are positive against 87% of LapOne's.

Car Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, LapOne every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
