Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OPENLANE Canada at 3.8 against HR4's 1.0. OPENLANE Canada also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). HR4's advantage is review sentiment (27% vs 9%) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OPENLANE Canada holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OPENLANE Canada has 58 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of OPENLANE Canada's written reviews are positive against 27% of HR4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OPENLANE Canada ships an update every 10 days, HR4 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
