# BotHeads vs Exoracer

The clearest difference is ads: BotHeads at none against Exoracer's shown. BotHeads also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Exoracer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 36). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BotHeads sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Exoracer sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Exoracer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exoracer has 1.7K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 79% and 79% positive.

BotHeads ships an update every 2 weeks, Exoracer every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
