Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Driving Speed Pro at none against Nitro RC's shown. Driving Speed Pro also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Nitro RC's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 14 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
