Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VCU RLH at none against Coursicle's 17. VCU RLH also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Coursicle's advantage is ratings volume (810 vs 2) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
