# Car Simulator vs Drive Quest

The clearest difference is rating: Drive Quest at 4.9 against Car Simulator's 3.9. Drive Quest also leads on ratings volume (78 vs 10). Car Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Car Simulator sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Drive Quest sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drive Quest holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drive Quest has 78 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Car Simulator ships an update every 2 weeks, Drive Quest every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
