# RETRO vs AIn't Real

The clearest difference is update cadence: AIn't Real at every 4 days against RETRO's every 11 months. RETRO's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RETRO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AIn't Real sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for RETRO against 5.0 for AIn't Real. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RETRO has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
