Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Driver's Ed Lite at none against Drivers Ed's shown. Driver's Ed Lite also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months). Drivers Ed's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 13). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
