Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Study852 at free with in-app purchases against Blank Spaces Launcher's subscription. Study852 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Blank Spaces Launcher's advantage is ratings volume (8.4K vs 2) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blank Spaces Launcher sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Study852 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Study852 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blank Spaces Launcher has 8.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
