Verdict
The clearest difference is price: oogieAR at Free against Refraktions's $5.99. oogieAR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.3). Refraktions's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
