Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SAINT AR at none against RetroCrush's 2. SAINT AR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.2). RetroCrush's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
