Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Little Ride holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Little Ride has 760 ratings behind it against 72, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Little Ride's written reviews are positive against 20% of Faras's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Little Ride ships an update every 3 weeks, Faras fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
