Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Parallel at 4.6 against DistrictUni's 4.0. Parallel also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 4). DistrictUni's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
