Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Auto Agent at Free against FORScan Lite's $6.99. Auto Agent also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.0) and review sentiment (75% vs 43%). FORScan Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and chart position (#7 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, monetization model and device support 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
Auto Agent is free to download; FORScan Lite costs $6.99 up front. Auto Agent sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. FORScan Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
Auto Agent holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Auto Agent has 43K ratings behind it against 199, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of FORScan Lite's written reviews are positive against 75% of Auto Agent's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.

- Mode6 is not working. It starts to run then the app crashes
- Transmission learning table reset, learning pause, resume, and module reset worked great on Navigator with OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth. Connectivity was easy but if you encounter any issues you should kill the app using the swipe from bottom iPhone app feature
- Since update it will not work with iPhone 11 … idk what the issue is but never had a problem until now

- I purchased the OBDLink adaptor so I could use this software to bleed my brakes. The example screens show this option. The option does not show up on the service screens. If you don't support this I would like a refund. That is the only reason I bought the adapter and software.
