Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: EA Racenet at none against Vector Racer's 1. EA Racenet also leads on iOS requirement (16 vs 18.0). Vector Racer's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
