Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Players Sports Chicago at none against Chicago Blackhawks's shown. Players Sports Chicago also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Chicago Blackhawks's advantage is review sentiment (24% vs 0%) and ratings volume (121 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
