Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Race This! at 4.6 against Vertigo Overdrive's 2.8. Race This! also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 8). Vertigo Overdrive's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Race This! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Race This! has 1.7K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Vertigo Overdrive's written reviews are positive against 36% of Race This!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vertigo Overdrive ships an update every 38 months, Race This! fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
