# RaceChip vs OBDeleven

The clearest difference is rating: OBDeleven at 4.3 against RaceChip's 2.2. OBDeleven also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 33) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). RaceChip's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (31% vs 14%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBDeleven sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $69.99 per year. RaceChip asks for nothing beyond the download.

OBDeleven holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBDeleven has 1.6K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of RaceChip's written reviews are positive against 14% of OBDeleven's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RaceChip ships an update every 2 months, OBDeleven fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
