Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pollo Live Pro at 50% against MINI Motorer's Guide's 19%. Pollo Live Pro also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). MINI Motorer's Guide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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.
MINI Motorer's Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MINI Motorer's Guide has 1.2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of MINI Motorer's Guide's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pollo Live Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MINI Motorer's Guide ships an update every 3 weeks, Pollo Live Pro every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
