# RaceChip vs xDelete

The clearest difference is rating: xDelete at 4.7 against RaceChip's 2.2. xDelete also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 31%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). RaceChip's advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

xDelete holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xDelete has 496 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of RaceChip's written reviews are positive against 73% of xDelete's.

RaceChip ships an update every 2 months, xDelete fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
