Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Rollin' Records at none against Primitive Skate's shown. Rollin' Records also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.1). Primitive Skate's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 13 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.
