Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Novice Driver at none against Traffic Cop 3D's shown. Novice Driver also leads on review sentiment (54% vs 30%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Traffic Cop 3D's advantage is ratings volume (283K vs 29K) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
