# Roadtrippers vs BeWize

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BeWize at 72% against Roadtrippers's 31%. BeWize also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Roadtrippers's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (62K vs 26). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Roadtrippers sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $35.99 per year and BeWize sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Roadtrippers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roadtrippers has 62K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Roadtrippers's written reviews are positive against 72% of BeWize's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Roadtrippers ships an update fortnightly, BeWize weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
