Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Emmanuel MN at none against School Years's 1. Emmanuel MN also leads on ratings volume (22 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). School Years's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
