On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Learn BOPOMO holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Learn BOPOMO's written reviews are positive against 67% of Bopomofo Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
