Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Houston Texans at none against NFL's 10. Houston Texans also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 19%). NFL's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (412K vs 829). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NFL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Houston Texans asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for NFL against 4.5 for Houston Texans. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NFL has 412K ratings behind it against 829, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of NFL's written reviews are positive against 47% of Houston Texans's.
NFL ships an update weekly, Houston Texans every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
