Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Nitro Rally Evolution at none against Ultimate R1's shown. Nitro Rally Evolution also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Ultimate R1's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 21 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
