Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StudyGram Academy at none against Focus Tree's 14. StudyGram Academy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Focus Tree's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
