Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Space Clutter at none against Retro Racing's 1. Space Clutter also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). Retro Racing's advantage is update cadence (every 21 months vs every 49 months) and chart position (#132 vs unranked). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
