# Beach Buggy Blitz vs Payback 2

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Payback 2 at 54K against Beach Buggy Blitz's 921. Payback 2 also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and chart position (#118 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beach Buggy Blitz sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Payback 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Payback 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Payback 2 has 54K ratings behind it against 921, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 86% and 85% positive.

Beach Buggy Blitz ships an update every 5 months, Payback 2 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
