Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SketchRide! at 4.5 against Car Maker Games's 3.4. SketchRide! also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Car Maker Games's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
