# GPixel vs XP Racing

The clearest difference is rating: GPixel at 4.6 against XP Racing's 3.7. GPixel also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (516 vs 3). XP Racing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPixel sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and XP Racing sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GPixel holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPixel has 516 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of GPixel's written reviews are positive against 50% of XP Racing's.
