Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Racing View at 80% against SIM's 43%. Racing View also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). SIM's advantage is ratings volume (445 vs 38). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases and Racing View sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Racing View holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

Written reviews point the same way: 43% of SIM's written reviews are positive against 80% of Racing View's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SIM ships an update every 2 weeks, Racing View every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
