Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CBC Highlands at 4.3 against Common App's 3.1. CBC Highlands also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 14.0). Common App's advantage is ratings volume (656 vs 6) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
