# Microballistics vs DragRacing

The clearest difference is rating: DragRacing at 4.1 against Microballistics's 2.3. DragRacing also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 3). Microballistics's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DragRacing sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Microballistics asks for nothing beyond the download.

DragRacing holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DragRacing has 15 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Microballistics's written reviews are positive against 33% of DragRacing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Microballistics ships an update every 24 months, DragRacing monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
