# Nitro RC vs Gigabit Offroad

The clearest difference is rating: Gigabit Offroad at 4.4 against Nitro RC's 3.9. Gigabit Offroad also leads on ratings volume (5.6K vs 56) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nitro RC sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Gigabit Offroad sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gigabit Offroad holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gigabit Offroad has 5.6K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Nitro RC's written reviews are positive against 80% of Gigabit Offroad's.

Nitro RC ships an update every 4 months, Gigabit Offroad every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
