# Chief Mobile vs GovInspect

The clearest difference is rating: GovInspect at 4.4 against Chief Mobile's 3.4. GovInspect also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). Chief Mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (40 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
