Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SupplyHouse at 4.9 against RAB Drive's 4.2. SupplyHouse also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). RAB Drive's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads 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.
SupplyHouse holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SupplyHouse has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of RAB Drive's written reviews are positive against 92% of SupplyHouse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RAB Drive ships an update every 2 months, SupplyHouse every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
