Not all displays for Mac are well suited to display the user interface in a non-scaled resolution. A pixel density of about 110 pixels per inch (PPI) for non-Retina, and about 220 PPI for Retina is comfortable for most people. Use Retinal to work out the pixel density of any display.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Retinal at Free against PageSnap's $0.99. PageSnap's advantage is chart position (#183 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
