Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RaceChase at 5.0 against GlitchVideo's 3.4. GlitchVideo's advantage is ratings volume (177 vs 1) and device support. On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement 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. GlitchVideo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RaceChase sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RaceChase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GlitchVideo has 177 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
