Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PWHL (Unofficial) at 100% against ECHL's 18%. PWHL (Unofficial) also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). ECHL's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 15) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
