Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Riptide GP2 at 91% against VR Rally's 0%. Riptide GP2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). VR Rally's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
