Minecraft Education also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (43K vs 17). AppGameKit Mobile's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0).

Both are free to download. Minecraft Education sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and AppGameKit Mobile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.0 for Minecraft Education against 3.9 for AppGameKit Mobile. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minecraft Education has 43K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.
