Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Mad Racing 3D at 4.5 against Pocket Rush's 3.4. Mad Racing 3D also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 62). Pocket Rush's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
