Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Priority Academy at 100% against PESI's 14%. The Priority Academy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). PESI's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
