# Torque Burnout vs Towing Race

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Torque Burnout at 57% against Towing Race's 16%. Torque Burnout also leads on chart position (#138 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Towing Race's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Torque Burnout sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Towing Race sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Towing Race holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Towing Race has 42K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Torque Burnout's written reviews are positive against 16% of Towing Race's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Torque Burnout ships an update every 6 weeks, Towing Race weekly. Both last shipped on November 9, 2026.
