Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SHL Matchtracker at 5.0 against ECHL's 2.6. SHL Matchtracker also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). ECHL's advantage is ratings volume (94 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
