Verdict

The call

MyPackagedDeal and Vipers Softball both sit at 3.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Vipers Softball's written reviews are positive against 60% of MyPackagedDeal's. Vipers Softball also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). MyPackagedDeal's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
