Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Chicago Bears Official App at 4.8 against CatchStat's 4.2. Chicago Bears Official App also leads on ratings volume (107K vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). CatchStat's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Chicago Bears Official App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chicago Bears Official App has 107K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Chicago Bears Official App's written reviews are positive against 80% of CatchStat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chicago Bears Official App ships an update monthly, CatchStat every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 6, 2026 respectively.
