Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IPL at 5.0 against SmartCricket's 4.0. IPL also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.3). SmartCricket's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 11 months) and review sentiment (80% vs 67%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
