Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Kaddey at Free against The Scoring Machine's $4.99. Kaddey also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). The Scoring Machine's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.4 vs 18.0). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
