Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Patrol at 71% against MySpot Carrier's 27%. MySpot Carrier's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). 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.
MySpot Carrier holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MySpot Carrier has 9.2K 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 27% of MySpot Carrier'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, MySpot Carrier fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
