Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JO_Academy at 3.7 against MY ASU APP's 3.3. JO_Academy also leads on ratings volume (445 vs 9). MY ASU APP's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
