Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FantasyGuru at none against PlaidGolf's shown. FantasyGuru also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PlaidGolf's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
