Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CogPsych at none against Learn Art's 2. CogPsych also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Learn Art's advantage is ratings volume (729 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
