Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Rippple at Free against ReelTracker's $0.99. Rippple also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and device support (3 vs 1). ReelTracker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and chart position (#191 vs unranked). On ads there is nothing between them.
