Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: EA Racenet at 4.7 against Finalist's 4.0. EA Racenet also leads on ratings volume (295 vs 3). Finalist's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 53%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EA Racenet holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EA Racenet has 295 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of EA Racenet's written reviews are positive against 67% of Finalist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
