# Driving Zone vs Car Simulator 2

The clearest difference is rating: Car Simulator 2 at 4.5 against Driving Zone's 4.1. Car Simulator 2 also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 3.5K) and review sentiment (82% vs 73%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Driving Zone sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Car Simulator 2 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
