Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Elementary Algebra at free with in-app purchases against StudyPug's subscription. Elementary Algebra also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). StudyPug's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 30). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
