Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Oops at 3.7 against College Ave's 2.6. Oops also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 30). College Ave's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
