# GaltConnect vs LoJack

The clearest difference is rating: LoJack at 4.9 against GaltConnect's 3.7. LoJack also leads on ratings volume (94K vs 6). GaltConnect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LoJack sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $129.99 per year. GaltConnect asks for nothing beyond the download.

LoJack holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LoJack has 94K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GaltConnect's written reviews are positive against 44% of LoJack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GaltConnect ships an update every 3 months, LoJack every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
