Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fnatic at 80% against Formula 1®'s 39%. Fnatic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Formula 1®'s advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 8) and chart position (#166 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 and Fnatic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fnatic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Formula 1® has 84K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of Formula 1®'s written reviews are positive against 80% of Fnatic's.
Formula 1® ships an update fortnightly, Fnatic every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
