The clearest difference is rating: PB Haven at 4.0 against Pickleballtv's 2.9. PB Haven also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown).

PB Haven holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pickleballtv has 74 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Pickleballtv's written reviews are positive against 0% of PB Haven's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
