Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GameRankr at 71% against Switch Forum's 33%. Switch Forum's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Switch Forum holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of GameRankr's written reviews are positive against 33% of Switch Forum's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
