Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Art Explora Academy at none against Visual Arts's 2. Art Explora Academy also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Visual Arts's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
