Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: memory® at none against Magic School's shown. memory® also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.6). Magic School's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
