Verdict
Race Dash for Sim Games and SIM both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Race Dash for Sim Games's written reviews are positive against 43% of SIM's. On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Race Dash for Sim Games sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SIM holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 330 and 445 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Race Dash for Sim Games's written reviews are positive against 43% of SIM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Race Dash for Sim Games ships an update every 10 days, SIM every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
