Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rocats at 4.2 against BoxCar Racing's 3.0. BoxCar Racing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rocats holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Rocats's written reviews are positive against 75% of BoxCar Racing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Rocats ships an update every 6 months, BoxCar Racing every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
