# F1 TV vs RaceSync

F1 TV and RaceSync both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of RaceSync's written reviews are positive against 30% of F1 TV's. RaceSync also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). F1 TV's advantage is ratings volume (132K vs 53) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. F1 TV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. RaceSync asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for F1 TV against 4.9 for RaceSync. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: F1 TV has 132K ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 30% of F1 TV's written reviews are positive against 100% of RaceSync's.

F1 TV ships an update monthly, RaceSync every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 24, 2026 respectively.
