# Retro Racing 2 vs GT Manager

The clearest difference is rating: GT Manager at 4.5 against Retro Racing 2's 4.0. GT Manager also leads on chart position (#195 vs unranked) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 156). Retro Racing 2's advantage is review sentiment (69% vs 45%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Retro Racing 2 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and GT Manager sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GT Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GT Manager has 1.3K 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 45% of GT Manager'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, GT Manager fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
