Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hover Racer at 3.6 against Hover's 2.9. Hover Racer also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Hover's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 31). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
