Quick summary
Verified pricing differs — Garage 61: Free (alpha) · RS Dash ASR: Free + in-app subs.
Verdict
Which one should you pick?
Choose Garage 61 when you want free iRacing reference laps — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: iRacing-only, and top drivers can set their data private, shrinking the reference-lap pool; official site states paid tiers are coming (FAQ: 'Will it stay free? Not all of it')
Choose RS Dash ASR when you want lap analysis on a tablet — it has a verified free tier.
Worth knowing: Advanced Analysis requires a full-HD-or-better tablet/desktop screen and is not available for Forza Horizon/FM7/Gran Turismo due to limited telemetry, and AC/ACC/Automobilista 2/iRacing need the Windows PC version installed on the game PC
