Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Google Cardboard at 682 against VR Abandoned Horror Train's 6. Google Cardboard also leads on rating (2.7 vs 2.5). VR Abandoned Horror Train's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Google Cardboard holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Cardboard has 682 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Google Cardboard's written reviews are positive against 50% of VR Abandoned Horror Train's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
