Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Baseball Live at 100% against TotalBases's 0%. Baseball Live also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). TotalBases's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
