Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SuperLeague+ at none against League Express's 34. SuperLeague+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). League Express's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 38%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
