Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MADE Hoops at none against SportsEngine Play's 4. MADE Hoops also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (3K vs 694). SportsEngine Play's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 45 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MADE Hoops holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 694 and 3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of SportsEngine Play's written reviews are positive against 47% of MADE Hoops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SportsEngine Play ships an update fortnightly, MADE Hoops every 45 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
