Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Motorcycle sounds+ at 4.6 against RealEngineSim's 3.8. RealEngineSim's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RealEngineSim sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Motorcycle sounds+ sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Motorcycle sounds+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 173 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of RealEngineSim's written reviews are positive against 63% of Motorcycle sounds+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RealEngineSim ships an update weekly, Motorcycle sounds+ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
