Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: U Padel at none against MATCHi's shown. U Padel also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). MATCHi's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (51 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
