Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Chicago Baseball Sox Edition at none against CHSN's 5. Chicago Baseball Sox Edition also leads on iOS requirement (14.5 vs 16). CHSN's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 84 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 7). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
