Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Real Driving School at every 8 days against Car Simulator 2's every 2 months. Real Driving School also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Car Simulator 2's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, 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. Car Simulator 2 sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Real Driving School sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Real Driving School holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24K and 50K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Car Simulator 2's written reviews are positive against 71% of Real Driving School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Car Simulator 2 ships an update every 2 months, Real Driving School every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
