Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sparkler at every 3 weeks against CDA Practice Test's every 9 months. Sparkler also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CDA Practice Test's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
