A simple, but effective way of dividing up teams based on skill rating. Features: - Keep track of people and their skill ratings in various groups like rec leagues, sport teams, gym classes, and much more! - Auto generate as many teams as you'd like! - Teams are always generated randomly but fairly, so you'll never have one team stacked up with all the good players. - A member can have others paired with them so they'll always be on the same team regardless of rating. - If two members don't work well together you can also exclude them so they'll never be on the same team. - Many more features coming soon!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tourney at 4.5 against Team Maker's 1.7. Tourney also leads on ratings volume (469 vs 6) and review sentiment (53% vs 33%). Team Maker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
