Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: RPG_Spinner at Free against ROME's $9.99. RPG_Spinner also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 78%). ROME's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (19K vs 4). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

RPG_Spinner is free to download; ROME costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ROME holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ROME has 19K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ROME's written reviews are positive against 100% of RPG_Spinner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
