Verdict

The call

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.
