# Bridge Race vs ScaleMan

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScaleMan at none against Bridge Race's 11. ScaleMan also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 29%). Bridge Race's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (1.1M vs 2.4K). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bridge Race sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ScaleMan asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bridge Race holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge Race has 1.1M ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Bridge Race's written reviews are positive against 45% of ScaleMan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bridge Race ships an update fortnightly, ScaleMan every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
