Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tournament Pro at 100% against Ballplayer's 56%. Tournament Pro also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0). Ballplayer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
