Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Colonel Guide at none against Coursicle's 17. Colonel Guide also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Coursicle's advantage is ratings volume (749 vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
