# INDYCAR vs RACER+

The clearest difference is rating: INDYCAR at 4.4 against RACER+'s 3.6. INDYCAR also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 8%) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RACER+ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. INDYCAR asks for nothing beyond the download.

INDYCAR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INDYCAR has 4K ratings behind it against 209, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of INDYCAR's written reviews are positive against 8% of RACER+'s.

INDYCAR ships an update every 2 weeks, RACER+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
