Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Art Explora Academy at none against Learn Art's 2. Art Explora Academy also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). Learn Art's advantage is ratings volume (728 vs 5). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
