Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: UAB at 5.0 against Pelham City Schools's 2.1. UAB also leads on device support (3 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
UAB holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pelham City Schools has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of UAB's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pelham City Schools's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
UAB ships an update every 4 months, Pelham City Schools every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
