Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beard Octane at none against Retro Rifle's shown. Beard Octane also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
