The clearest difference is rating: BigFuture School at 4.6 against RAISE365's 3.3. BigFuture School also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 2.1K). RAISE365's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 28%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BigFuture School holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BigFuture School has 18K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of RAISE365's written reviews are positive against 28% of BigFuture School's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
