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.
TSD DEALER holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 100 and 110 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Text2Drive's written reviews are positive against 13% of TSD DEALER's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
