Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: GameFly at 9.9K against Retro Jake's Mobile's 204. GameFly also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Retro Jake's Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 37%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
GameFly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GameFly has 9.9K ratings behind it against 204, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of GameFly's written reviews are positive against 54% of Retro Jake's Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GameFly ships an update every 3 weeks, Retro Jake's Mobile every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
