# Driving Speed Pro vs Car Simulator

The clearest difference is ads: Driving Speed Pro at none against Car Simulator's shown. Driving Speed Pro also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 8) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). Car Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Driving Speed Pro sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Car Simulator sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Driving Speed Pro against 4.1 for Car Simulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Driving Speed Pro has 47 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Driving Speed Pro ships an update every 14 months, Car Simulator every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
