Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Columbus Crew at none against North Coast Network's shown. Columbus Crew also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). North Coast Network's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
