Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: StatChat at none against FanGraphs's shown. StatChat also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). FanGraphs's advantage is ratings volume (349 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

StatChat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FanGraphs has 349 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
