Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gridiron Pros at none against Hudl's 10. Gridiron Pros also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). Hudl's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 weeks) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
