Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SC Student at none against CarDash's 9. SC Student also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). CarDash's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 17 months) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.
