Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Console Guide at 100% against Torque Pro's 6%. Console Guide also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Torque Pro's advantage is ratings volume (520 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
