# Race Up! vs Drift X

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Drift X at 61% against Race Up!'s 0%. Drift X also leads on rating (4.4 vs 1.5) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 2). Race Up!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Race Up! sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Drift X sells 33 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drift X holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.5.
