Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MATCHDAY at 100% against Hoops's 50%. MATCHDAY also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 59 months). Hoops's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
