Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GameStop at every 6 days against GameFly's every 3 weeks. GameStop also leads on ratings volume (154K vs 9.9K) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). GameFly's advantage is review sentiment (37% vs 18%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for GameFly against 4.8 for GameStop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameStop has 154K ratings behind it against 9.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 37% of GameFly's written reviews are positive against 18% of GameStop's.
GameFly ships an update every 3 weeks, GameStop every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
