Verdict

Both are free to download. Macworld sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 6 months and The Horse sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Horse holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively.
