# Riptide GP2 vs Rally Horizon

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Riptide GP2 at 7K against Rally Horizon's 732. Riptide GP2 also leads on chart position (#197 vs unranked) and review sentiment (91% vs 81%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Riptide GP2 sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Rally Horizon sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Riptide GP2 against 4.7 for Rally Horizon. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Riptide GP2 has 7K ratings behind it against 732, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Riptide GP2's written reviews are positive against 81% of Rally Horizon's.

Riptide GP2 ships an update every 2 months, Rally Horizon every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
