Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Frontline Education at none against CharterEdge's 2. Frontline Education also leads on ratings volume (85K vs 1) and chart position (#122 vs unranked). CharterEdge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
