Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: USSSA at 64% against MLB Ballpark's 16%. USSSA also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MLB Ballpark's advantage is ratings volume (1.4M vs 32K). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
