Turvo Driver holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Turvo Driver has 15K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Patrol's written reviews are positive against 50% of Turvo Driver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Patrol ships an update every 4 months, Turvo Driver every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
