Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Roommates Visual Novel at none against Fictif's shown. Roommates Visual Novel also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Fictif's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 117). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Roommates Visual Novel sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Fictif sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Roommates Visual Novel against 4.1 for Fictif. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fictif has 1.1K ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Roommates Visual Novel's written reviews are positive against 61% of Fictif's.
