Verdict
BESTSECRET and OUTLETCITY both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of BESTSECRET's written reviews are positive against 51% of OUTLETCITY's. BESTSECRET also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 30) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). OUTLETCITY's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
