The clearest difference is ads: Melbourne United at none against Melbourne Storm's shown. Melbourne United also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Melbourne Storm's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
