Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Nitro RC at 3.9 against Rally Runner's 3.2. Nitro RC also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 47%). Rally Runner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
