# Space Racing 2 vs Ace Racer

The clearest difference is update cadence: Space Racing 2 at fortnightly against Ace Racer's every 2 months. Space Racing 2 also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 55%) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 11.0). Ace Racer's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (3K vs 193). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Space Racing 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Ace Racer sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ace Racer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ace Racer has 3K ratings behind it against 193, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Space Racing 2's written reviews are positive against 55% of Ace Racer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Space Racing 2 ships an update fortnightly, Ace Racer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
