Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Monash Study at none against Ling's 22. Monash Study also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 64%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Ling's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 41) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
