Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VirtU College at none against HPU+'s shown. VirtU College also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). HPU+'s advantage is ratings volume (217 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
