Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Play at Nicol at none against SQUASHTV's shown. Play at Nicol also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SQUASHTV's advantage is ratings volume (278 vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
