# Retro Racing 2 vs Pumped BMX Flow

The clearest difference is rating: Pumped BMX Flow at 4.8 against Retro Racing 2's 4.0. Pumped BMX Flow also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 156). Retro Racing 2's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Retro Racing 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Pumped BMX Flow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pumped BMX Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pumped BMX Flow has 3.9K ratings behind it against 156, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Retro Racing 2's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pumped BMX Flow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Retro Racing 2 ships an update weekly, Pumped BMX Flow fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
