Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Fanbase at ad-supported against PlayerData EDGE's subscription. Fanbase also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). PlayerData EDGE's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
