# NASCAR MOBILE vs INDYCAR

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.

Both are free to download. NASCAR MOBILE sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. INDYCAR asks for nothing beyond the download.

NASCAR MOBILE holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NASCAR MOBILE has 196K ratings behind it against 4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of NASCAR MOBILE's written reviews are positive against 50% of INDYCAR's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
