Both are free to download. Absolute RC Boat Sim sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Hover Racer sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Hover Racer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Absolute RC Boat Sim has 455 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Absolute RC Boat Sim's written reviews are positive against 0% of Hover Racer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Absolute RC Boat Sim ships an update every 2 months, Hover Racer every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 3, 2026 respectively.
