Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LexVid at 4.8 against SANS OnDemand's 3.6. LexVid also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 27%) and ratings volume (5.3K vs 32). SANS OnDemand's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
