Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blankstyle at 100% against Retail Therapy's 48%. Blankstyle also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Retail Therapy's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Retail Therapy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Blankstyle's.
