Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Study On at none against School Assistant's 6. Study On also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). School Assistant's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 2). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
