Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Highway Rider at 4.4 against Torque Burnout's 4.2. Highway Rider also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 3.5K). Torque Burnout's advantage is chart position (#114 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Highway Rider sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Torque Burnout sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Highway Rider holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Highway Rider has 25K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Highway Rider's written reviews are positive against 57% of Torque Burnout's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Highway Rider ships an update every 3 months, Torque Burnout every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
