Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Excélsior at 64% against Grupo Fórmula's 13%. Excélsior also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Grupo Fórmula's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 1.9) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Grupo Fórmula holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 31 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Grupo Fórmula's written reviews are positive against 64% of Excélsior's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Grupo Fórmula ships an update monthly, Excélsior every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
