Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RACE Scale at 3.7 against EMCE's 2.7. RACE Scale also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 45%). EMCE's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (47 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
