Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Retrogram at 4.4 against Would You Rather?'s 3.8. Retrogram also leads on ratings volume (320 vs 9). Would You Rather?'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On price, ads and device support 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. Retrogram sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Would You Rather? asks for nothing beyond the download.
Retrogram holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Retrogram has 320 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Would You Rather?'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Retrogram's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
