Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ClassBuddy at none against 极简课程表's 1. ClassBuddy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 极简课程表's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
