Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CSE APP at none against MLB's 10. CSE APP also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). MLB's advantage is chart position (#10 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 3). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
