The clearest difference is ads: MindLabs STEM at none against SciQuiz's shown. MindLabs STEM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). SciQuiz's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
