Verdict
RaceChip and Tuning both sit at 2.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 31% of RaceChip's written reviews are positive against 21% of Tuning's. RaceChip also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.2). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Tuning holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 32 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of RaceChip's written reviews are positive against 21% of Tuning's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
