Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GhostBoard at 100% against Thinkific's 13%. GhostBoard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Thinkific's advantage is ratings volume (104 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
