# GetDismissed vs CarAdvise

The clearest difference is rating: CarAdvise at 2.6 against GetDismissed's 2.1. CarAdvise also leads on ratings volume (160 vs 16). GetDismissed's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 19%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CarAdvise holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CarAdvise has 160 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of GetDismissed's written reviews are positive against 19% of CarAdvise'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 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
