Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Rush Rally 3 at every 6 weeks against Retro Racing's every 21 months. Rush Rally 3 also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 92) and chart position (#25 vs #140). Retro Racing's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $4.99) and review sentiment (93% vs 80%). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
