Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Retro at none against Chimp Copter's 1. Retro also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). Chimp Copter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
