Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: INDYCAR at none against NASCAR MOBILE's 14. INDYCAR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). NASCAR MOBILE's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (196K vs 4K). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
