Verdict
Hudl and 40X both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of 40X's written reviews are positive against 27% of Hudl's. 40X also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Hudl's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 6). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
