Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Borderline at 100% against Master Thief's 31%. Borderline also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Master Thief's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (44K vs 1). On price, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Master Thief sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Borderline asks for nothing beyond the download.
Master Thief holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Master Thief has 44K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Master Thief's written reviews are positive against 100% of Borderline's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Master Thief ships an update every 3 weeks, Borderline monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
