Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AccountabilityMe at 5.0 against Courtyard's 3.0. AccountabilityMe also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). Courtyard's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
