Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 64Touch at 68% against RetroPlay's 0%. 64Touch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). RetroPlay's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.1). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 64Touch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RetroPlay sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RetroPlay holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 47 and 103 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of 64Touch's written reviews are positive against 0% of RetroPlay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
64Touch ships an update every 5 days, RetroPlay every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
