# CHL vs OHL Scouting

The clearest difference is ads: OHL Scouting at none against CHL's shown. OHL Scouting also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CHL sells 39 one-off in-app purchases and OHL Scouting sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CHL ships an update every 3 months, OHL Scouting every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
