Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PETRO at every 5 weeks against Driving BC's every 4 months. PETRO also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Driving BC's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
