Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Student Mobile App at fortnightly against Plugged In's every 11 months. Student Mobile App also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 10) and device support (3 vs 1). Plugged In's advantage is rating (2.0 vs 1.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
