Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: City Drive at none against Racing Master's shown. City Drive also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Racing Master's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 1) and chart position (#49 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support 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. Racing Master sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and City Drive sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
City Drive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Racing Master has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Racing Master ships an update fortnightly, City Drive every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
