Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RC Gears at 4.5 against Flash Tree's 4.0. RC Gears also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (56 vs 4). Flash Tree's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flash Tree sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. RC Gears asks for nothing beyond the download.
RC Gears holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RC Gears has 56 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of RC Gears's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flash Tree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
RC Gears ships an update every 5 weeks, Flash Tree every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
