Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Raffle Pro at 4.8 against Raffleway's 3.4. Raffle Pro also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 5). Raffleway's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raffleway sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Raffle Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
