Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FIFA Official App at none against Formula 1®'s 14. FIFA Official App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Formula 1®'s advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 2.4K) and chart position (#59 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Formula 1® sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. FIFA Official App asks for nothing beyond the download.
Formula 1® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formula 1® has 84K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 34% of FIFA Official App's written reviews are positive against 39% of Formula 1®'s.
FIFA Official App ships an update every 2 weeks, Formula 1® fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
