Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AutoTeams at none against MatchDraft's 1. AutoTeams also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). MatchDraft's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
