This App is similar in function to SHI: Learning Lingít, but adds dynamic lesson plans for classroom use. This app is targeted to schools who are participating in the Tlingit Culture Language Literacy (TCLL) program in partnership with the Sealaska Heritage Institute (SHI). This application will not function without registering the device to a particular school. Please see “SHI: Learning Lingít” and “Tlingit Language Games” for our public language learning applications.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Ready at every 17 months against SHI's every 46 months. SHI's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
