Not all displays for Mac are well suited to display the user interface in a non-scaled resolution. A pixel density of about 110 pixels per inch (PPI) for non-Retina, and about 220 PPI for Retina is comfortable for most people. Use Retinal to work out the pixel density of any display.

The clearest difference is device support: String Lights at 3 against Retinal's 1. String Lights also leads on iOS requirement (7.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
