# Traffic Rush vs Airport

The clearest difference is price: Airport at Free against Traffic Rush's $0.99. Traffic Rush's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Airport is free to download; Traffic Rush costs $0.99 up front. Airport sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Traffic Rush asks for nothing beyond the download.

Airport holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 540 and 438 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Traffic Rush's written reviews are positive against 80% of Airport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Traffic Rush ships an update every 6 months, Airport every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
