# NASCAR MOBILE vs PBR

The clearest difference is ratings volume: NASCAR MOBILE at 196K against PBR's 2.4K. NASCAR MOBILE also leads on chart position (#67 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NASCAR MOBILE sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PBR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for NASCAR MOBILE against 4.8 for PBR. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NASCAR MOBILE has 196K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 63% and 62% positive.

NASCAR MOBILE ships an update every 2 weeks, PBR fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
