# V8 Race Manager 2018 vs Driver Simulator

V8 Race Manager 2018 and Driver Simulator both sit at 2.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of V8 Race Manager 2018's written reviews are positive against 36% of Driver Simulator's. Driver Simulator's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (139 vs 7). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. V8 Race Manager 2018 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Driver Simulator sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 2.7 for V8 Race Manager 2018 against 2.8 for Driver Simulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Driver Simulator has 139 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of V8 Race Manager 2018's written reviews are positive against 36% of Driver Simulator's.
