Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iCompt Lite at none against Retrotick's 7. iCompt Lite also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). Retrotick's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
