Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Write Now Teacher Studio at none against StoryCorps's shown. Write Now Teacher Studio also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). StoryCorps's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 27) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
