Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: INDYCAR at none against IMSA's shown. INDYCAR also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 69) and review sentiment (50% vs 28%). IMSA's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
INDYCAR holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: INDYCAR has 4K ratings behind it against 69, 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 28% of IMSA's.
INDYCAR ships an update every 2 weeks, IMSA every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
