Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PaintSaur at 5.0 against Blackboard's 4.5. PaintSaur also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Blackboard's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
