# Hyper Drift! vs Speed Stars

The clearest difference is rating: Speed Stars at 4.8 against Hyper Drift!'s 4.4. Speed Stars also leads on ratings volume (41K vs 3.2K) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyper Drift! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Speed Stars sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Speed Stars holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Speed Stars has 41K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Hyper Drift!'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Speed Stars's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hyper Drift! ships an update every 2 months, Speed Stars every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
