Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: HackPSU Mobile at 100% against Coursicle's 38%. HackPSU Mobile also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Coursicle's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (799 vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
