Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Riptide GP2 at 4.8 against Hill Top Car Racing's 2.3. Riptide GP2 also leads on ratings volume (7.1K vs 3). Hill Top Car Racing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Riptide GP2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Hill Top Car Racing sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Riptide GP2 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riptide GP2 has 7.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Riptide GP2's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hill Top Car Racing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
