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.
Ontario 511 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoChecker has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of GoChecker's written reviews are positive against 9% of Ontario 511's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GoChecker ships an update every 2 months, Ontario 511 every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
