Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Team Lineup Basic at none against Roster Blast's 1. Team Lineup Basic also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 123) and iOS requirement (14.5 vs 18.0). Roster Blast's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
