Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Science Olympiad at 5.0 against MATHCOUNTS Trainer's 4.2. Science Olympiad also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). MATHCOUNTS Trainer's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
