# RetroChecker vs GameTrekker

The clearest difference is rating: GameTrekker at 5.0 against RetroChecker's 4.4. GameTrekker also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%). RetroChecker's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RetroChecker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GameTrekker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GameTrekker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RetroChecker has 60 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of RetroChecker's written reviews are positive against 100% of GameTrekker's.
