Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Broadway San Jose at fortnightly against Broadway.com's every 2 months. Broadway San Jose also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Broadway.com's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 17%) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 94). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
