# RacingAmerica.tv vs Pit Pay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RacingAmerica.tv at 71% against Pit Pay's 21%. RacingAmerica.tv also leads on ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). Pit Pay's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RacingAmerica.tv sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month. Pit Pay asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pit Pay holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pit Pay has 2.8K ratings behind it against 194, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of RacingAmerica.tv's written reviews are positive against 21% of Pit Pay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RacingAmerica.tv ships an update every 3 months, Pit Pay monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
