The clearest difference is monetization model: Mustard at free with in-app purchases against 4APP Sports's subscription. Mustard also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and review sentiment (83% vs 67%). 4APP Sports's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
