Verdict
CargoLoop and CarsArrive Plus both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of CargoLoop's written reviews are positive against 7% of CarsArrive Plus's. CarsArrive Plus's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 12). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CarsArrive Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CarsArrive Plus has 3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CargoLoop's written reviews are positive against 7% of CarsArrive Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CargoLoop ships an update monthly, CarsArrive Plus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
