Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GradeStack at 5.0 against EduManager's 4.0. GradeStack also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%). EduManager's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
