PromoNight shows the giveaway and theme night schedule for the teams you follow, so you can pick the game worth going to. Star your teams and PromoNight lists their upcoming promotions: bobblehead nights, jersey and shirt giveaways, theme nights, kids days, and food and drink deals. Each promo shows the date, the opponent and the start time when the team lists them, what you get, and who gets one when the team says, such as the first 10,000 fans. PromoNight covers baseball, basketball, football, hockey and soccer teams. Promotions come from team announcements. Teams can change or cancel a promotion, so check with the team before you go. WHEN IS THE NEXT BOBBLEHEAD NIGHT? Open your team to see its upcoming promos by date, its schedule with game times, and its venue. Or search Discover by team, giveaway, city or venue, and browse collections of bobbleheads, theme nights, jerseys, food and drink, and kids and family events. REMINDERS Turn on reminders for your teams and PromoNight sends one around 9 a.m. on the morning of each promo game. Limit them to highlighted promos, mute a team, or tap Remind me on a single promo from any team. WIDGETS Add a PromoNight widget to your Home Screen to see your next promo, or the week ahead, at a glance. Tap it to open the promo. GAME DAY Game Day counts down to your next home game and gives you a checklist for the trip. At venues we have checked, it shows the bag policy, parking lots and accessibility details taken from official venue and team pages, with a link to each source and the date it was read. Where we have them, food and drink stands are listed by level and section, so you know where to eat before you go. Get directions, find parking, or switch to another upcoming game for your teams. FREE, WITH A FEW ADS PromoNight is free. It shows a small number of ads, marked Sponsored, and may earn a commission when you buy tickets, parking or fan gear through its partner links.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GameAlerts at none against PromoNight's 2. GameAlerts also leads on ads (none vs shown). PromoNight's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
