Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Maasvallei Student at none against GradeStack's 1. Maasvallei Student also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). GradeStack's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
