Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Race Stats at 4.5 against RaceChip+'s 3.1. Race Stats also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (644 vs 81). RaceChip+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
