Verdict

The call

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.
