# CSR Racing vs Torque Burnout

The clearest difference is ads: CSR Racing at none against Torque Burnout's shown. CSR Racing also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (85K vs 3.5K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CSR Racing sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Torque Burnout sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CSR Racing holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSR Racing has 85K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of CSR Racing's written reviews are positive against 53% of Torque Burnout's.

CSR Racing ships an update every 2 months, Torque Burnout every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
