# Mad Race VR vs Type Run

The clearest difference is rating: Type Run at 4.1 against Mad Race VR's 3.0. Type Run also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 56) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Mad Race VR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (38% vs 21%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mad Race VR sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Type Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Type Run holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Type Run has 31K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Mad Race VR's written reviews are positive against 21% of Type Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mad Race VR ships an update every 2 months, Type Run fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
