Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CACC Scoring at none against Retro Flash's 8. CACC Scoring also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Retro Flash's advantage is ratings volume (226 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
