Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Torque Drift at 4.7 against Apex Racing's 4.1. Torque Drift also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 71) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Torque Drift sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Apex Racing sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Torque Drift holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Torque Drift has 43K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Torque Drift's written reviews are positive against 75% of Apex Racing's.
Torque Drift ships an update every 3 weeks, Apex Racing every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
