Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gartic.io at 4.5 against Contexto's 3.5. Gartic.io also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 26) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Contexto's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 42%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Gartic.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gartic.io has 5.2K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Gartic.io's written reviews are positive against 59% of Contexto's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Gartic.io ships an update every 2 weeks, Contexto every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
