# DragLights vs DragRacing

The clearest difference is rating: DragRacing at 4.1 against DragLights's 1.9. DragLights's advantage is iOS requirement (12.3 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DragLights sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DragRacing sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DragRacing holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of DragLights'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.

DragLights ships an update every 3 weeks, DragRacing monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
