Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: StubHub at 4.8 against 大麦's 2.3. StubHub also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.4M vs 435). 大麦's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
