Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: KickCat at Free against Drift'n'Drive's $2.99. KickCat also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). Drift'n'Drive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
