# My CDGA vs ESPN Chicago

The clearest difference is rating: ESPN Chicago at 4.7 against My CDGA's 4.0. ESPN Chicago also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 7) and review sentiment (41% vs 32%). My CDGA's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ESPN Chicago holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ESPN Chicago has 4.4K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of My CDGA's written reviews are positive against 41% of ESPN Chicago's.

My CDGA ships an update every 5 months, ESPN Chicago every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
