# Smash Cops vs GRID™ Autosport

The clearest difference is ads: GRID™ Autosport at none against Smash Cops's shown. GRID™ Autosport also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 245) and chart position (#24 vs #95). Smash Cops's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $9.99) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Smash Cops costs $4.99 and GRID™ Autosport $9.99 up front. Smash Cops sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and GRID™ Autosport sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GRID™ Autosport holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GRID™ Autosport has 2.9K ratings behind it against 245, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Smash Cops's written reviews are positive against 72% of GRID™ Autosport's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smash Cops ships an update every 6 weeks, GRID™ Autosport every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
