Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Auto Agent at 75% against ARI Mobile's 18%. Auto Agent also leads on rating (4.9 vs 1.7) and ratings volume (42K vs 17). ARI Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
