Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ClassicToy at none against Raster's shown. ClassicToy also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 44%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Raster's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (42 vs 14). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ClassicToy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Raster sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Raster holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 42 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ClassicToy's written reviews are positive against 44% of Raster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ClassicToy ships an update monthly, Raster every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
