Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Citadel Alumni at 5.0 against Courtyard's 3.0. Citadel Alumni also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months). Courtyard's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
