Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ELMS Mobile Application at none against CAA Board Prep's 1. ELMS Mobile Application also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). CAA Board Prep's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
