The clearest difference is review sentiment: PickleWave at 100% against Pickleballtv's 29%. PickleWave also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Pickleballtv's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 4) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
