Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Broadway.com at 4.7 against The Fox Theatres's 3.7. Broadway.com also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (2K vs 3). The Fox Theatres's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
