# Tap the Traffic Light vs Race Start Test

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tap the Traffic Light at 88% against Race Start Test's 46%. Tap the Traffic Light also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Race Start Test's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (247 vs 4). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Race Start Test sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Tap the Traffic Light asks for nothing beyond the download.

Race Start Test holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Race Start Test has 247 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Tap the Traffic Light's written reviews are positive against 46% of Race Start Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
