Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Brian at free with in-app purchases against Flashcards maker's subscription. Brian also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). Flashcards maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
