Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RacketNet at none against Tennis Channel's 8. RacketNet also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Tennis Channel's advantage is chart position (#31 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
