Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: eSchoolData at 1.8 against CSIU's 1.0. eSchoolData also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 60 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 1). CSIU's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
