Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WCUTrees at none against Coursicle's 17. WCUTrees also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Coursicle's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (749 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
