Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reds Time at none against Cincinnati Sports's 2. Reds Time also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Cincinnati Sports's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
