# EV3 vs Forbidden Racing

The clearest difference is review sentiment: EV3 at 65% against Forbidden Racing's 17%. EV3 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EV3 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Forbidden Racing sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EV3 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EV3 has 1.9K ratings behind it against 186, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of EV3's written reviews are positive against 17% of Forbidden Racing's.

EV3 ships an update every 3 weeks, Forbidden Racing every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
