Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Towing Race at 4.5 against Car Manual Shift's 3.6. Towing Race also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (42K vs 21). Car Manual Shift's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Car Manual Shift sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Towing Race sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Towing Race holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Towing Race has 42K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Car Manual Shift's written reviews are positive against 16% of Towing Race's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Car Manual Shift ships an update every 2 months, Towing Race weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
