The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the relatively low frequency of ads compared to other free games.

“This game is great trust me... no ads completely... the 1 star is for adjustments... maybe you could add camera modes like you are in the car ... but overall... it's great👊👍”
“First of all I found that this app or game has very very very few ads or you can say that it has no ads also... because of that only I am very happy... as you all know that very few apps are there which have less ads... and this is one of them.”
“Best game ever.. no ads, only optional ads.. I love this game very much.. keep it up!”
“Devs reduced the amount of money you should get by half and they tell you to pay $6.99 to double your money gain or to watch ads to get money, which means the game is ad-dependent.”
“Way too many ads on the free version, even paid has painfully slow progression and it all feels the same after a short while.”
“It's the worst game in this world because there are so many ads which are coming in between.”
