Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NBA Trade Machine at none against DraftBattle's 18. NBA Trade Machine also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 42%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). DraftBattle's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (378 vs 9). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DraftBattle sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. NBA Trade Machine asks for nothing beyond the download.
DraftBattle holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DraftBattle has 378 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of NBA Trade Machine's written reviews are positive against 42% of DraftBattle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
