Verdict
Retail Therapy and Cariigo both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Cariigo's written reviews are positive against 48% of Retail Therapy's. Cariigo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Retail Therapy's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 10). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
