Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Day one at none against NHL's 8. Day one also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). NHL's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
