Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: StatMuse at 3.8 against NBA 2K HQ's 3.0. StatMuse also leads on review sentiment (30% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). NBA 2K HQ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
