Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Virtual Scoreboard at 24K against Retro Soccer's 10. Virtual Scoreboard also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Retro Soccer's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
