Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BoxCar Racing at Free against Drift'n'Drive's $2.99. BoxCar Racing also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and review sentiment (75% vs 59%). Drift'n'Drive's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (65 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

BoxCar Racing is free to download; Drift'n'Drive costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Drift'n'Drive holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drift'n'Drive has 65 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Drift'n'Drive's written reviews are positive against 75% of BoxCar Racing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Drift'n'Drive ships an update every 6 months, BoxCar Racing every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
