# G vs Ride Forces

The clearest difference is rating: Ride Forces at 4.8 against G's 3.7. Ride Forces also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (48 vs 9). G's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. G sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Ride Forces sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ride Forces holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ride Forces has 48 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of G's written reviews are positive against 80% of Ride Forces's.

G ships an update every 4 days, Ride Forces every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
