#1 game in 80 countries. Loved by millions of skateboarders all over the world. "True Skate is clearly something special" - 4.5/5 - Touch Arcade review. True Skate™ is the closest feeling to real-world skateboarding, with a decade long evolution as the ultimate skateboarding sim. True Skate™ is the Official Mobile Game of Street League Skateboarding. PURE PHYSICS CONTROLS Use your fingers like you would your feet on a real skateboard. Flick the board to make it react exactly how you would expect & drag your finger on the ground to push. - Play with one finger, mind skate with 2 fingers, or play with 2 thumbs, now with Gamepad! The skateboard reacts instantly as foot & finger, thumb or stick feels truly connected whether pushing, popping, flipping or grinding. - True Axis's instant & unified physics system listens for swipe, position, direction and strength from the player & processes how the skateboard should respond in real-time. So the same flick in two different points of the skateboard will react very differently. - Literally any trick is possible with TRUE CONTROL of the skateboard, so if you can dream-it, you can do-it!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Touchgrind Scooter at Free against True Skate's $1.99. Touchgrind Scooter also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and review sentiment (76% vs 51%). True Skate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#2 vs #190). On update cadence, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Touchgrind Scooter is free to download; True Skate costs $1.99 up front. True Skate sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Touchgrind Scooter sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Touchgrind Scooter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Touchgrind Scooter has 47K ratings behind it against 9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of True Skate's written reviews are positive against 76% of Touchgrind Scooter's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
