Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Playform at none against NBA Top Shot's 37. Playform also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). NBA Top Shot's advantage is ratings volume (447 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
