Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PWHL (Unofficial) at 100% against AHL's 15%. PWHL (Unofficial) also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). AHL's advantage is ratings volume (192 vs 15) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
