# Level Maker vs Mario Kart Tour

The clearest difference is rating: Mario Kart Tour at 4.7 against Level Maker's 3.7. Mario Kart Tour also leads on ratings volume (1M vs 106) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). Level Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Level Maker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Mario Kart Tour sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mario Kart Tour holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mario Kart Tour has 1M ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Level Maker's written reviews are positive against 56% of Mario Kart Tour's.

Level Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Mario Kart Tour every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
